Believe me, if you just sit there thinking it will never get done. You have to put pen to paper and just do it.
I actually think you're right. Maybe I just need to start "warming up" by writing shorter pieces. That way, I will gain practice with writing in general and work myself up to writing a novel.

Thanks!
