I'm mentoring someone who's interested in #creativecoding and #generativeart, especially in the space of #gamedev and #alife. His biggest challenge is going beyond dabbling in private to actually following through with a project. I think this comes down to finding good tools for "quick and dirty" work, as well as finding venues or communities for sharing his output and getting feedback.
Does anyone have advice or pointers I could share with him? Boosts appreciated! 
Going through with something is all about making the time, sitting down and just doing it. (I struggle to do this myself)
Starting new projects is easy and exciting. When problems show up, the next action has to be to sit down and solve the problem and not retreat into the next project.
But I find that even if it's not the 4-6 hours I want, just sitting down, touching the code and trying to solve even a single problem ends up being 1-2 hours.
@bmaxv Yeah, exactly. I want to say "just stick with it!" but I realize that for him, it's not that easy. Probably ADHD?
In terms of how to help, I'm thinking of two approaches:
