Also it's a nice arbitrary measure for the blog another way to celebrate achievements and overview what you've done over a 12 month period. I randomly posted mine on the 28th August so that's my annual review now: http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/to-do-list-201314.html<br /><br />Be cool to see you join the fun.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-11596838502067888972014-06-06T23:56:23.161-04:002014-06-06T23:56:23.161-04:00Half the problem is admitting you have one.

I usually ignore it and paint a lot of other things instead but it's a starting point so that I at least have a plan. If I deviate from it and paint something else that's no bother, it's best to go with the flow afterall, paint what enthuses you but if I can get one of my goals done there's a certain sense of satisfaction in that.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-35530599336366188872014-06-05T12:38:38.126-04:002014-06-05T12:38:38.126-04:00I ask the minis and they tell me o_O waht?!

Hmmm....<br />I recently sold all my terrain since I left the gaming side of things, sadly that just made more room for more minis...wait, that's not sad at all. I am a mini painter and i can't die until all my minis are painted so... I guess I'll be around a while ;)Zabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000817078818838705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-57906183014071948122014-06-05T11:04:40.858-04:002014-06-05T11:04:40.858-04:00My son is already showing an interest in the hobby...My son is already showing an interest in the hobby, so that's encouraging for the future.

I spend way way way too much money on the hobby and my stockpile of unfinished projects is getting larger and larger. <br /><br />In an effort to stave off my hobby ADD, I focus on 3 main armies and stick to just that. I resist the urge otherwise. If I get bored with one army, I jump over to another one, then another, then back to the first one. Plus when I’m doing commission work, I get a chance to paint mini’s I normally wouldn’t buy for myself. <br /><br />Soon I’m going to start selling a fully converted/painted army every 2 months. This will allow me to get out my Hobby ADD by buying armies I would not game with but I always thought were cool. But I’ll be making money back on them so it’s not a super hit to the wallet.<br /><br />Thanks for the pic shout out BTW :)The Eye of Errorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10542198234289439408noreply@blogger.com
