Admitting you have a problem is the first step in recovery, right? We'll see...
Along with cataloging my projects I have organized my Pile of Grey Shame so that I can see where most things are at a glance. Now hopefully being able to see all this will help me clamp down on snapping up new minis, kits, and terrain just on a whim. Last year I really displayed zero discipline when I'd see something on eBay or in GW's accelerated release schedule. I know it's been like this for a few years now but I'm still not used to it!
After the photobucket debacle last year I really lost a lot of hobby mojo. In getting things organized I decided to just finish a smallish terrain project to try and get rolling. That lead to me jumping in and getting a larger piece done, and then diving straight into the Dark Imperium box. Once I had it all assembled I kept driving, and got the Death Guard models painted up in record time (for me).
When February started I was ready to get stuck into Squaduary with my Primaris marines (and that project is moving right along). I don't know what other community events the year will bring, aside from Dreadtober. But relying on community events to be my motivation is just one way to set myself up for failure. I need to be my own motivation for getting stuff done! Enter Wargame Hobby Bingo...
I seriously think I can fill in the whole card this year. With all the projects I have rolling there should be no contest. I think the only square I'd need to start something new for would be 'Make something for the hobby not for the battlefield'... but I might not either.
So that's my goal for the year: finish 23 projects and win hobby bingo. It's not even that crazy of an undertaking.
Cheers,
CJ
