This is relatable. I have even begun to read "War of Art". Consistency is key to momentum. My most recent project won an overall award at ETHDenver - which at the time became the world's largest cryptocurrency hackathon. My teammate and I created a cyberpunk-themed cryptocurrency trading game based on the classic Drugwars. My teammate is a great multimedia/graphic artist, and it was very well received. If interested, Beta is at https://www.cachethegame.com https://www.cachethegame.com. However, I would about 20% of the current total project (it's been 9 months) was completed in the 36 hours of the hackathon. We were on a roll. After the hackathon - we ended up talking to investors, but decided to pass. This is a double-edged sword with downside. "Side" projects are hard in the way self-guided learning is hard. You don't have people breathing down your neck periodically to keep you on track. The further we got along to releasing a Beta the more the "Resistance" crept in. To the point of, as soon as the Beta was released - basically taking several weeks off altogether. This is where some seed investment would have helped, besides the obvious ability to clear the calendar a bit. Forget big splashes of "raising a ton of money" or an ICO - it's practical to raise a bit money for reasons I mentioned.
