Ha! My friends like my "crazy" ideas, but they kindly remind me of my history of starting ambitious projects and giving up as soon as things becomes boring/tedious.
Ideas are easy; honing discipline is hard as h*ck!

I really enjoyed this video recently, Jack Conte telling his history of failed projects. I'd only heard of the 2 or 3 successful ones before, but this made me aware of his 10 or 20 failed projects, or projects no-one else enjoyed, for every 1 hit. I don't think it's a coincidence he had a few hits. Also the way he says they all felt the same while doing them, the wildly popular and the ones none noticed, is interesting. Also I heard Gershwin wrote 20 songs for every 1 good one. It seems people mostly fail, even the most successful.
