This is normal. I'm feeling it right now with what I want to do.
In my heart and mind, I _know_ I can do it, but then the doubts and fears rush in. I totally understand the feeling you're going through.
I just finished _Art & Fear_ by David Bayles and Ted Orland which is a fantastic book about creating stuff. Nearly all the advice applies to software developers.
Don't give up.
Success isn't binary either.
Release your project (Some success!). Make some sales (More success!). Market your project to get more sales (Success!).
You probably won't get fuck you money on the first day, but with enough marketing, maybe you'll be able to quit your job within the first year.
