It's a journey ...

 

I've set out on an adventure, a journey to strange new lands. I'm not sure exactly what I will find when I get there, but am determined to persevere or drown in the Sea of Doing.

It's been a while since my last post, kinda out of sight of land these last weeks. Existing on hardtack & rum 😧.

But there has been some progress, excruciatingly slow and I have been seeking to delegate more of the work and find the right balance between doing & getting help. I'm a stubborn cuss, and it's not that easy for me to ask for help, but I can waste a lot of time trying to solve a problem when maybe someone else could solve it more quickly.

Don't we just love to learn? Sometimes it's fun and easy and sometimes it's damn hard!

The rollercoaster

 I never promised you a rose garden ...

How about a rollercoaster ride instead?

Hard to believe I've been at this since February this time, but time flies, and I've been up and down so many times I feel like a yoyo. (Too many metaphors?)

You know the old 'one step forward, two steps back' routine, yeah?

But sometimes its just damn hard. Yup, sometimes success comes easy, and other times it's just excruciatingly tiresome and annoying and frustrating and all that.

These are times when having a good support system in place can make a huge difference. I have a couple of people that are rooting for my success in this endeavor and keeping tabs on my progress. How could I disappoint them by giving up? One of the key concepts of the game is having a mentor who serves as, among other things, an 'accountability partner'. One who can hold your feet to the fire, when you start getting cold feet.

Today my intention is to make contact with a developer who can help me complete this first phase of the game. Come hell or high water!
