Bring up Amazon in another window and order Steven Pressfield's "War of Art" and just for kicks add Hugh Macleod's "Ignore Everybody"... The latter will put a spotlight on the counter-productive external forces at play that is causing you to grind to a halt. The former will so deliberately and decisively shame you out of your so-called 'writers block' that you will have no choice but to snap out of it...

(Edit) Both books are about creativity. I used writers block in my post because writing is a common profession in the Arts. One book is written by an Artist, the other a writer- and in my opinion, both books will be helpful to any Artist. Including, of course, the Art of programming language..
