Alright so let me start off by saying, that it's been an absolute cunt of a week. And so as a result, May has lost all chances of having anything go up on the channel. I'm sorry for that, I really am. It's not the way I wanted things to go, but let's just go over why that is.
--------------------------------------------------
Morale) I've mentioned the general layout of plans of 2019 for months now, but the year has just totally pulled the rug out from underneath me unfortunately. But even up until last week, I still saw a chance for having some reviews dropping late into May. However, that has changed in the last 7 days. Maybe I'm being pessimistic, I don't know. But the bottom line is, I've lost a lot of valuable hours and days.
Morale has been at an all time low for me. The past couple years have caught up with me mentally, in regards to my personal life. That in combination with a rocky production on this 6-Parter, has deteriorated my enthusiasm for getting these projects done. But I've also set myself up for this, by trying to put on too much stuff this year. Now, all that stuff is still going to happen which is awesome. It's just effecting the current upload schedule in ways, I couldn't have predicted it would. I said in February, I was starting 2019 two months behind schedule... which is still true. I'm getting done now what was supposed to be happening in March. So all of these things play on my mind and make it harder to stay focused on productivity.
My Prediction) With all of that said, I want all of you here on Patreon to remember these 'down and out' posts, when everything ultimately works out in the end! Things will work out, May unfortunately is just gonna have to take a serious hit, so that it CAN happen!
Onto the Positives) RIGHT, with that done. You see that script at the top of this post? That is just over 30 pages of the potential 2+ hour long episode! The script is FINISHED! All it needs is revision and then that video will officially be in production. However before that can happen, what I'm struggling to find the time for is writing the Crash Revisit episodes that I was hoping, to have up in May. 6-Parter production is taking priority over that right now. It sucks because for every good day we've had, we've had a bad day trying to get that done. And it's really only just begun. But the current plan is to start getting those scripts done by the end of this week. We could potentially still make the May deadline, but I doubt it!
I... I realize the positive aspects of that drained away pretty quickly. But that's an accurate representation of how things are going right now.
My Current Work Schedule *SUBJECT TO CHANGE*) This is what I'm working at right now, every single hour I mentally can of each day:
THIS WEEK:
- Wed - Film Part 6 of the Series Review
- Thur - Review Scripts
- Fri, Sat - Film 6-Parter
- Sun - Review Scripts
NEXT WEEK:
- Mon, Tue - HOME STUFF (Not planning too far ahead because shit happens)
That is my next week in review that I'm going to try and stick to. Things might change, but the general idea of swapping in and out will stay the same. I'm also fighting against weather right now, which is why any day I can go out and film anything for the series review, that's what I'll do. It's why these scripts have had trouble getting done.
This is literally the ONLY shot I have, that doesn't spoil the 6-Part Series Review!
--------------------------------------------------
Closing Thoughts) So I hope you can all start to understand why shit is so messed up right now. Trying to juggle the work of different months within the same time frame is a fucking joke, it should absolutely have not happened this way. But life comes at you fast sometimes. Just know I'm doing my best to get this thing together in time for June, in time for Nitro Fueled and in time for Hawktober production to begin.
But yeah, fair warning that there probably won't be much of anything going up this month. I'm gonna do my best to squeeze out some form of update video this week, to repeat what I've said here. Other than that, I just don't see how there will be any time for it. And if that means you would like to pause or even cancel your pledge for the month, I totally understand that. I promised more high quality content thanks to Patreon and even though I'm totally consumed by that right now, I can't deliver it this month.
Regardless of that, thank you all so much for the support and immense patience with this. It really means the world to me. Hopefully next week's post will contain more positive energy and some good news for a change. But until then, I hope you have a great fucking day. Cheers! :)
