I’m back in the blog space for my hobby streak stuff. Hooray!

So yeah, I dropped off the face of the earth there a little — honestly, I just ended up spending more time putting effort into posting these hobby streaks on BlueSky and not really talking too much about them here. It’s not great, and doesn’t really show my writing skills. Heck, it even just made me focus more on my phone, which isn’t ideal for hobby time. So here we are.

Firstly, here’s Hobby Streak 1 (attempt #3). Today, after hearing the sad news about Gripping Beast Plastics, I thought getting my box of Dark Age Warriors put together for some generic warriors, bandits, vikings, etc. It’s always good to have a good variety of miniatures, especially while I’m trying to get into more solo wargaming things.

I was also going to do a “day 0” post today, explaining what the Hobby Streak is for me, how I’ll be handling it, and whatnot. Instead, I’m going to be outlining it below for you all, and if this is something you’d also like to engage with, it’s right there for you too.

So What is this ‘Hobby Streak’ thing?

Inspired by Liam Durr on BlueSky, he’s the Hobby Streak guy after all. His original post can be found here.

The original Hobby Streak Rules were as follows;

• At least 30 mins hobby each day.
• Take a pic of your daily activity.
• Use #hobbystreakday1
• Build up your personal best of concurrent hobby days in a streak
• Any break in the streak resets the clock & you’re back to day one.
• Challenge yourself to beat your previous PB set.
• Chip away at current projects.
• Encourage & inspire each other.

I’ll be adjusting them slightly to meet my own needs some, as I’m a bit of a chronic migraine/fatigue girlie and sometimes it’s important to let yourself adjust things as you need them.

So here’s the rules for Moxxie’s Hobby Streak;

• At least 30 mins hobby each day.
• Hobby can consist of building, painting, playing, or writing in relation to tabletop wargaming and tabletop rpgs.
• Take a picture, write a blog post, and if applicable, record a time-lapse of my daily activities.
• Use #HobbyStreak and #HobbyStreakDayX when posting.
• Build up concurrent hobby days in a streak
• Every 14 days of streak gets you 1 ‘save point’. Save points can be cashed in to keep a streak going on a missed day.
• Challenge yourself to top your personal best.
• Chip away at projects, naming what it is you’re working on.
• Encourage & Inspire others

I really love this challenge, and I can’t wait to get back to the desk, get myself some finished projects, and show off how well everything goes!
