Patron update!
🕑 Added 2023-03-25 02:25:50 +0000 UTCI hope you're having a lovely March! There have been some exciting developments around here, so let me catch you up:
We moved to Canada (again).
The reason things have been so quiet around here lately is that I've been juggling an international move for work. We're thrilled at the chance to reside in Canada again, but - as I'm sure some of you know all too well - moving countries is exhausting and takes ten times longer than you'd hope.
Fortunately, we're in the home stretch of that move process now. Our video production setup is (mostly) back up and running, and I'll soon be able to devote time to New Frame Plus videos again. Even more time than before, actually, because...
I found an entire extra day in the week.
For the last two years, I've been increasingly struggling with two problems: slow video output and looming burnout. Obviously (and annoyingly), these problems are directly linked, and - try as I might - I haven't been able to come up with a single clever fix for one that doesn't make the other much worse.
This brings me to one of the many benefits that enticed me to take this new job: the prospect of a 4-day workweek.
I've never had the luxury of a full day I could commit to passion projects that didn't require taking time off work or sacrificing rest over the weekend, and now I get one of those weekly. I'm very excited to see what impact that has over this next year; both for my video output and my mental health.
Monthly Q&A streams resume this Sunday.
In case not everyone knows, I do a monthly chill Q&A hangout stream for folks supporting the Patreon at $5 or more a month. We had to skip last month's stream due to Move Chaos, but I've got enough of my office half-assembled that we can do one this weekend!
I'll send out a stream link to $5+ patrons Sunday morning an hour before it starts. Apologies in advance for how messy the room looks. XD
Any questions?
That's all the things, I think! If you have any follow-up questions, feel free to post them below.
Thank you all for your support and patience. <3

That's wonderful to hear! While I don't doubt that both patrons and your larger audience alike would prefer 'slow down' to 'burn out', I'm very glad you found a third option that you seem to prefer.

Congratulations, sounds exciting!
