I have finally graduated from middle school after a rather long and painful 4 years. This summer I plan on pigging out on TGB and indulging in as many resources and tutorials as is possible in 2 months. I hope I will be able to accomplish SOMETHING....(maybe finish a game ore two) and I am thinking that maybe keeping up with blog posting will inspire me to work.

Middle School huh? Yeah, I was there last year and I got a lot done over the Summer - not anything for personal use but I got quite a few contracts and made a total sum of around $6.000 give or take so man, digg in and get your stuff out there!

My simple quick advice:
1. Form or join a team
2. Start small

Ramblings on point:
1 - With a team you can do more, get valuable input, advise, help. You learn alot
2 - Go Read up... Take up a project you know you can accomplish and finish. A decent finshed game is worth much more than a great un-accomplished idea (since thats all it is)

:)

okay thanks for the great advice. i don't know anyone with the attention span to help me finish any of my projects, however. in order to form some sort of team then, would i just ask around on garagegames?

i might do that later... for now i'll just focus on some small projects to expand my knowledge of the program.

Im gonna be honest... It's hard to get a team (Person or people) that will be interested in your ideas. Most people come here with that "great idea for a game" and want their game to be created. This can leave you alone. Rather join a team, and learn. When you have something to show, knowledge, confidence; only then expand.

Look around... People with proper dev plans tend to get more attention. You even get more attention when u can show something (being proactive - Rather than doing something than nothing); You learn that way (of how it works and gain valuable hands-on experience).

ok cool ill keep that in mind.

I'm sorry, i gotta say this. You just finished middle school, and yet you can spell and use proper grammar. I applaud you sir. Had you not said anything, i would never have known.

@Andrew Hull:

I think most people on on-line messaging boards use false grammar and strange abreviations* due to their typing speed, like me when I'm instant messaging friends on-line I just go crazy on the wtf bs bff fts etc. xD

*Is that how you spell it?
