Surviving 2019 and What's Next! (Blog) (Patreon)

Hello everyone, Hawktober 2019 is officially over and done with, bloody mental. I honestly can't believe that one even got finished to be honest because it was just such a wild time. Unfortunately shit is still a bit wild which I'll get into shortly, but still, positive vibes all around. Thank you all so much for allowing me to create this special, THAT is the part most special to me!

PLEASE leave some questions/topics for the November Patreon Podcast! Keep in mind, there will be a Making-of Hawktober video episode on the way this month, so I will probably save that production discussion for that video. Cheers!

November Plans) The original plan for November was to immediately follow Hawktober with a Medievil series review covering the sequel, Resurrection and the recent remake. Sad to say that is simply impossible at this point so that will be shelved until first quarter 2020. In the meantime, I'm hoping to get back underway with Ty Episodes 5 and 6 in time for Christmas. So while I work on those, uploads could get a little shaky again. However this is the current plan for November:

• Game Testing/Mail unboxing video
• CTR Grand Prix episode
• Super quick video asking for public Q&A questions*
• The Q&A I was planning for September*
• Possibly the equipment showcase video I've discussed previously*

*The order and existence of these is entirely dependent on how busy I am/how much time I'm realistically able to write and film this month.
Ty series review takes absolute priority over everything else right now, because I really... REALLY... want that finished. it's beyond a joke at this point. However I am not rushing anything to meet a Christmas deadline. If it has to drop January 1st, then so fucking be it. As long as it gets finished before we move onto future projects.

Life After Hawktober) This event was something else major. Never in my life have I worked such consistent, long hours for such an extended period of time. To say I'm burnt out is an understatement, I honestly feel like total shit because of it. THAT SAID, I do have motivation to work on stuff, just not reviews, which obviously conflicts with wanting to get Ty done ASAP. So we'll just see how that goes. But on top of that, without going into specifics of course, the shitty reality of life hit me like a brick wall in the past week, with all the same shit that hit me hard at the beginning of Hawktober production back in late August... so that is just S U P E R D O O P E R !!! 🙃

Everything will be ok, it's just really planted me into a tricky, difficult position to try and keep myself healthy. Making videos keeps me healthy mentally and these things are really getting in the way of being able to do that. Like I always say, for me, taking a break is actually worse than working through the burnout. So yeah, that's the sad reality of that just for the sake of transparency about what is going on with the channel. I'm hoping I can configure some description of a change in living conditions that can finally help get things back on track for 2020. That is the number one goal!

Closing Thoughts) I think I'll leave it at that for now so that I can get back into working on this Making-of episode (I can't play games and record them in my free time, because all my hard drives are FULL with Hawktober and Ty files. So I need to finish up so I can delete everything). DON'T FORGET to drop some Podcast questions below! And until next week, thanks for reading and I hope you have a great fucking day. Cheers!
