Okay. It has been 8 months since I started developing this project, back when I was talking about the start of something and hoping for success. Now, I don’t mean much when I say success in this context. I’m talking about a finished product, no matter how raw or amateur it may be. If I can get this site launched, and keep it running, even for a little while, I will consider that success.

It’s not easy to get started. I don’t know if I’m doing things the hard way (entirely possible) or if it’s a challenge for everyone. Either way, I respect the people out there who have gotten their own sites running. I’m impressed by the willpower it takes to get everything set up.

As I go along, I feel constantly intimidated by this process. I doubt everything about what I’ve done and I worry about the things I have yet to do. Is this something I can actually pull off? Will I be happy with the results? Will it matter to anyone?

Wait, wait. Yes it will matter, because it matters to me.

Despite being a means of communication with the outside world, I’ve got to keep in mind that first and foremost I am doing this for myself.

And despite the long hiatus on launching this thing… I’m doing it! I am finally getting around the fear and perfectionism and doing it. I’m still afraid, but here we go anyway.
