Hi,

I think you should break down your project into smaller parts and release it after a part is complete.

This will take care of your motivational problem for a long project.

Being a long project, I advice you to rope in a friend. You can motivate eachother for the rest of the project lifecycle.

Besides, here is a link that I found interesting on Motivation and Goals.

Hope this helps.
