>I'm just having a really hard time with figuring out where to start in a way that gets me meaningful traction on writing it. You just need to start. You need to plow through and make something. You will make mistakes and your code will suck, you will throw that thing away. But the next thing you make will be better. Repeat. You sound like me when I started. I would get paralyzed from choices on how to architect or implement something. It wasn't until I just finally picked one did I learn what the tradeoffs were, what was just plain a bad idea, etc. I absorbed the experience and the next thing was easier. Another thing. I can tell you like to talk. You can talk about a project, think about the project, muse about what it would feel like to be done with the project, as a substitute for doing work on the project. Don't let yourself fall into that trap.
