Just cool down... I always face this dilemma! So, what I do is to take a page and scribble lots of unintelligible words(Actually ideas to me, but unintelligible to those who read it.) Then I get motivated to write the scribbled words into a proper idea!! :D

Absolutely agree with Adrian - read all you can. Importance can't be overstated.
