From the blog: Here is my suggestion to you: Make a list of the creative blocks that you believe are holding you back, just write them down on any old scrap of paper.
Then make a list of the creative things that you have always wanted to do, whatever they may be.

Now, look at the two lists. Is there anything on the 'block' list that is really holding you back?

Is there anything on the 'creation' list that does not have a valid, corresponding block?

My own big block was that I thought I could not draw. And you know what? If you think you can't do something you just may be right, because you probably won't do it.

So I am going to make a conscious effort to get out of my house once a week and go someplace and draw something!

I think my biggest block is that I'll actually succeed, and I won't be able to follow it up. OR, I'll get stuck in a rut, and be unable to get out of it, like Thomas Kinkade.
