One of the biggest difficulties you will have is memory.
When something does not physically exist, it can become quite difficult to recall.
One of my current projects has been running since October 2009/2010 and it gets loving difficult to remember.
Words of advice:
Write stuff down, just a sentence and a date will do.
Only time will tell if you are dedicated. If people are still doing this in 2-3 years time, then that shows commitment.
