"you think this is hopelessly daft, you think no will care about it, and slowly de-motivation creeps in." When you get here, start talking to other people about it. Run it by your pals, your internet friends, whoever, see if they think it's good. If they like it and give you positive feedback (hey I'd use that library! I'd play that game) then it's both encouragement and a sign that you'll have at least something of a receptive audience for it when you're done. Well, that works for me at least.
