Hi all,
I wanted to give an update. I was on pace to finish the show for this morning. Last night, however, I realized I was making some concessions I really shouldn't on the biggest show of the year and in particularly, one match I was finishing up really wasn't that good.
I took three full weeks off from SCW - a much needed break - after deadline, and started to get back into things. Much of the writing has gone well, but I've been balancing that with my return to work the last two weeks, along with any prep. I'm going away with my wife this weekend - we both do a terrible job at actually taking time off - and so I'm not around as I normally would be to finish things up. I tried to rush things to get them done, but frankly, with the great writing all of you did for Rise to Greatness, I want to return that effort in kind. I even was planning to not include match hype videos and other things I do to make RTG special to try and get it up on time.
Last night, I finally made the decision that if I'm not going to do it right, it's not worth it, especially for what is our "season finale." I can take a few extra days, post a card (which is up) and do those things properly. I realize this will be frustrating as I know some of you are really raring to go for the new season, but I always told myself I wouldn't compromise what I do feel is SCW's main strength - the quality of writing and the quality of the shows. So, Rise to Greatness and its pre-show WILL be up in the next week. Most of the matches are written or mostly written. Matches are judged. I just need to focus on segments, hype-videos, and other matters like that. I just ran out of time before I spend the weekend with my wife. I haven't even had a chance to do the events calendar as I've focused on the shows. I have to do some prep for the next week when I get back, but I should then have my time when not teaching to finish the shows and to the level you all expect.
Sorry for the added additional delay, but I hope you understand why. October 1 is our first show back. I'll have the events calendar completed next week too. And I hope the added time allows you to get even more ideas going. There are a few other things being worked on behind the scenes for SCW and hopefully it will all come together as we enter our 24th year.
