I think part of it is that as we get older, we spend more time (over)analyzing the creative process instead of actually creating. One piece of advice I received about writing from another member here was to JUST DO IT. Just write, put the words on paper, and let it flow--let it go. The hardest part is denying the urge to self-edit as you go, I think. You can always edit later.
I find that creativity begets more creativity; if I start writing, this is often followed by the urge to draw, or to write more stories.
Good luck!
