I think you'll make it happen. My first project, <a href="http://www.scrawlers.com" rel="nofollow">Scrawlers</a>, is online in extreme getting-real alpha mode. It was good to get it online and show it to a few people. We're learning lot about what is most important, which will save us time we would have lost if we were polishing the turd in secret. Ultimately, it was a service that I very much wanted to use, so it's been quite fun to work on. I don't have expectations of the service making me any sort of money to speak of, though. At best it could become a nice loss-leader. “Instant gratification takes too long.” ~Carrie Fisher

You will find that getting those out and soliciting feedback will be great infusions of instant gratification. Looking forward to seeing the first screenshots.
