@sundancer the key thing is to except that you are a hobbyfunk and then not be worried about it.  To be honest by tidying things away you are making a step forward, the pressure from those half finished project staring at you from the table can be horrific.  Inspiration will come along once more for you and I am sure you’ll pick up the brush etc.

12 months ago I was in the same situation, a bit further along not wanting to pick up the brush for quite a while I’d go along to game with friends when I could.  I might be a teacher but my work has Saturday morning lessons and our gaming night was a Friday, which didn’t work very often for me.  I really couldn’t be bothered to get on and finish any of the many many half painted armies I had sitting around (let alone the completely unpainted ones).  What got me out of it was the Star Wars Legion Weekend and trying to paint the Rebel Trooper I’d purchased – I just needed to be involved with people doing something together at the same time.  For me the first lockdown gave me time, not having to travel to work and not having to work on Saturday, I started a hobby Zoom with some of the club members (which is still going strong) and we sit, paint and chat away about anything and everything (rugby, us elections, new games, old games etc).  The result for me has been a new inspiration I feel refreshed and I want to get paint on miniatures and armies finished, the biggest buzz was when I actually finished my Legion Army off (it’s not longer all painted but I purchased some more recently).

I guess the aim of this ramble is to say don’t kick yourself take a break and wait for some new inspiration to pop along that will get you started.
