Nicely said. I think that's a really grounded way to approach this. Find joy in the creative process, push through the hard days, don't get swept up in hype.Here's a good post from Sean McCoy about not letting the hype overwhelm you.
I think he is very likely right about the hype going quiet by February and the field being very thin by August. I hope to see it through -- one of the reasons I decided to do it is that I usually get a wild idea and go hard at it for a couple weeks. if I am lucky I have enough to use. Usually, though, it goes in the graveyard of half baked ideas. I want to learn sustained enthusiasm when possible, and shutting up and doing the work anyway when not.
I put together my personal master list of resources for this crazy endeavor, and thought I'd share. The attached PDF is hyperlinked, but the image is merely illustrative.
