project incouragment

Been where you're at...but it's still hard to keep the chin up sometimes. Best way I've found to stay motivated is to help other people with their projects on an "I'll help you now if you help me later" deal. After a while, good things will come back to you-deals "falling in your lap" etc. Don't be afraid to ask for help here; some really great people here. Good luck, and keep plugging away.
