Is this going to be too hard for me to do?
I had an idea for a new lens last night and started to put it together then. I’m now working on it again and am seriously wondering if it’s a good idea or not.
Do you ever get that?
Have an idea which you are sure is good but working on it is soooo hard that you start to doubt whether it’s really a good idea after all?
It’s a lens that I’m adding to the Promoting your Lens series and I felt it would be useful information for additional promotion. I think I shall be relying on other lensmasters to submit their own links to it for inclusion because it’s very hard to find the lenses I need to include in it.
I came across one lens with the same idea but it wasn’t even completed! That tells me a lot!
Is this going to be too hard for me to do?

No. Just take a deep breath. Let it go for the moment. Go vacuum or some such other physical activity. Let it lay there in your mind — don’t touch it, though. After a time, you’ll have a solution or two pop in your head. I’ve done that many times. Sometimes, even when nothing had come yet, I’d still get back to it, and usually, the problem just worked itself out as I got back to working on it. If this is the lens I saw today about Plexos, it’s good and it seems that you have worked it out. If you don’t have the amount of plexos that you want in the lens of the quality that you want, you can always add as you come on them. It’s really a good start and a very good idea. OK, I’m rambling.

Hey
No, that’s really good advice and thank you! You’re not rambling at all; it all made sense

Good morning, inkserotica.
I have two lenses that I started months ago, and I still haven’t even published a first draft.
Both of them are important for my marketing plans, but both will provide non-trivial information and I need to do some real research before showing them to the world.
They’re still sitting there in my dashboard, reminding me that they’re waiting patiently on me.
Now, all I need is the inspiration to put everything else aside and finish them.
I think MiMi offered some good advice, too.
Act on your dream!
