Blockage

I am experiencing a partial blockage. I have a list to the left of my computer screen that shows no less than 10 ideas for screenplays, stage plays, books, TV shows and web series. Everyday I look at the list and then cover it up with a piece of paper. Now, to be fair, I am not trying to work on all of them at the same time, but I am trying to get three to some degree of "done-ness".
I have decided to write a book based on this blog, so that is the biggest project. I will be co-authoring with a friend who is a Life Coach. I won't mention her name here because I have not asked permission to do so. The approach of the book will be each chapter will look at an aspect of my journey through Depression, Anxiety and ADHD. My co-author will then write about what she would recommend that one would do if they found themselves in a similar situation.
I am also keen on finishing the outline for a TV pilot loosely based on this blog and my experiences working after I got laid off from my job as a producer and manager at a local TV station. I have a meeting with a producer friend this week and I want to have something to show her. I want to also show her an outline for a movie idea I have. I won't go into that idea for obvious reasons.
Blockage is a problem for me but not in the writer's block kind of way. I find that I have the idea in my head but for some reason it will not spill out onto the page. I suspect it might be medication that is causing this. I could be wrong. I often am. Luckily I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow so hopefully we can do something to get me going.
Here's hoping to getting all my pipes cleaned as I explore all my challenges this week.
