First, thanks MikeW for giving me a gentle nudge to keep participating. Procrastination is a bear, but it's brother Indecision is even worse. Let me back track over the last 3 days.
Day 1 - looked up some game engines to build my dice game with and downloaded some images to use as the di. My initial plan was to make a simple Farkel game for the desktop. Unusual little (drinking) game that is fun to play for all ages. I felt coming to a decision and getting these prelims down was at least a decent start.
Day 2 - Ruminating. Should I do a card game (Tonk, BidWhist, Spades combo) because that's what the engine is built for? Made some attempts to create dice images and failed miserably. Searched for dice images and didn't find anything that was satisfying.
Day 3 - Said forgetaboutit....real life is wanting to interrupt. But isn't that the case in every endeavor? I mean, life doesn't stop just because I'm developing a product. So I decided I needed to take the night off and 'grow a pair'.
Day 4 - Ahhh....what I have finally decided is this: Stop waffling, pick a product that I already have partially developed AND I know who I'd be marketing to. My product will be an Event Scheduler. Simple, clean, easy to use, easy to build bigger and better versions later. I first built one of these for a small community college secretary. After she used it and raved to other co-workers the little app got utilized across the campus for various functions. She also raved to businesses that also showed interest. So there you have it. Finish the Event Scheduler before June 30 and offer it on my site.
Whew! Hold me to it! My mantra moving forward is "No Waffling Allowed".
So how are you doing?

"Hold me to it" - we will! My plan is for a new screenshot (real or mocked up) every couple of days. I'm hoping that will force me to keep going... maybe you could do the same?
Best of luck, Sherrie. I'm sure you'll rapidly get into the swing now. So far I'm finding it to be an experience that feeds on itself. The more you work at it the more you want to continue. :-)
I'm glad I helped someone overcome procrastination! Maybe you can help me now? ;)
