Hello, and happy new year! With the new year always comes new ideas, goals or aspirations and this year was no different. When I started this blog last year, I didn’t really have a focus in mind, the goal being to write about the things I enjoy and share that with an audience of people that are interested in what I have to say.
As the year went along, I found I really enjoyed two things, writing movie reviews, and writing about my wargaming and painting. Sharing my hobby has been both cathartic and also a good way to keep myself motivated. Even when I haven’t been posting, I have been watching movies, and painting models.
So as I sit here in the new year, I have decided on a new format for this blog. I would love to provide more content for my followers, expand the participation in the hobby, and also to keep me and hopefully others more motivated to paint, play and to write about the hobby journey.
With that in mind, let me announce the focus of Urban Cowboy Hobbies for 2024…
A Tale of Several Warlords
Some of you may be familiar with the idea of a “Tale of Four Warlords” but if you are not, let me give you an introduction. A couple decades ago, a popular magazine in the hobby space named after a certain dwarf started a series called, as you might guess, “A Tale of Four Warlords” the idea of this series was simple, four hobbyists came together at the beginning of the year and made a solemn vow to each work on a hobby project that interested them and then post updates and pictures each month to document their progress. This series proved to be quiet successful, both as an interesting read, and as a tool to get the Warlords’ armies finished.
With the memory of those brave hobbyists in mind, I along with “several” other warlords will be embarking on a similar journey. As of today, I have four others planning on sharing this experience with me, and the initial update will be coming before the end of the month. My promise to you the readers will be to provide updates, hopefully at least once a month, maybe more! I will also be on the hunt for other hobbyists to provide some one off content, or possibly even join the monthly series!
PS: I will still be writing periodic content for other things as it fits me(probably mostly movie reviews). My lack of focus continues, don’t you worry.
