Start with content. Don't even make a stylesheet. Just get some content in there with the appropriate HTML tags. Then start a simple stylesheet that makes the content readable. Then you can start actually designing.
Starting from a blank slate is painful, but if you have content to work "around" it's much easier (for me at least). It turns out to be more like molding your design around your content than coming up with a design and then shoving your content into it.
(Note: I'm Nick's coworker, and I know he has plenty of content to start with)
