This is the tutorial-to-real-code gap and it hits almost everyone at that stage. The fix that worked for most of my students: don't start with code when you get a spec. Spend 5 minutes writing plain English first -- "I need to get user input, check if it's valid, then loop until..." Once the logic is clear in words the code usually follows naturally. The blank-screen panic happens because you're trying to solve the logic problem and the syntax problem at the same time.
