Kind of lost (2)

So I finally found my way, I want to become a graphic designer/illustrator.
I am just happy being able to draw and be creative, and though I know I still have to practice a lot to become really good, I'm just passioned about accomplishing it.

However, I have this problem - every time I want to start a new drawing I need hell a lot of energy to draw the first line - I am always like paralyzed. Maybe I am not confident enough or it's my perfectionism that is blocking me, I just do not know and that frustrates me.
I hope someone can offer some advice, I would appreciate that. Thanks for your effort.

When I want to draw, but don't know what to draw/ am afraid i'll do something horrible, I do this:

1 - Take a pencil and a piece of paper
2 - Scribble all over the place (each line must be visible, this isn't colouring)
3 - Look for shapes that might be formed by some of the lines you drew
4 - Draw over the shape that interests you, to make it more visible
5 - Erase unnecessary scribbles
6 - Develop on your drawing

This usually gets my imagination going.
