Thoughts on the Goblin a Day plan. 10 months later.

The Goblin a Day plan has gone quite well. Lately I'm not producing one figure per day, so I have fallen off the pump wagon in all honesty but I am still painting Night Goblins fairly regularly. When I'm not working on the Gobbos I'm painting Stone Trolls, squigs, and a few other things to add to their army. These extras have kept my production of pure Night Goblins a bit behind but that's OK, since I had about 220 Goblins already when my started to work on these supplementary units.

I highly encourage people to try a similar plan especially if, like me, you think of yourself as a slow painter. Make a goal for yourself. It does not need to be 1 figure a day. Perhaps 3 a week would be better for you. Keep the immediate focus small and plan to work on the overall project for a few months at least but dont worry about the big picture at first. Just tell yourself you have to do 3 a week (or whatever) and in no time you'll find a pleasing amount of painted figures accumulating on your desk. Another thing that might help is to tell friends about your goal. If nothing else they might say, "Hey, how are those figures coming?" when you see them. You'll be proud when you tell them how much progress you've made!
