It was not the time for me to launch myself into something like Orctober. I was fighting schedule conflicts and a lack of executive function for most of it. Then the news that my mother-in-law passed away arrived. I accompanied my wife to her mother's out of state funeral service. That involved a long road trip that did my back no favors.
Lessons learned:
- Don't launch a project this ambitious after a painting drought.
- Have an alternative to or scaled back version of the project planned out in case a particular month turns out to be not the one for an ambitious project.
- I'll be painting orcs at a sane pace. At least I got the plastic straightened out.
- Other projects are going on the schedule to break things up.
