I've been reminded that I've wanted to update this for some time: a collection of the exclusive videos! They're all unlisted, so they're only accessible through here. Some are a bit meatier than others, but it's all bonus content. If anyone's been missing out, here you go!

I think I just got free time again.
Imagine that, right?
Okay! So, now that I have it, let's make it work! It's time for a long-awaited Darkroom session and some consultations!
Darkroom: Saturday, January 22nd, 10:00 PM EST

2022-01-17 03:42:39 +0000 UTC View PostHappy New Year, everyone!
Thanks to all of you for the support on Night Mind this year. As a quick review, I just wanted to give you a rundown of what your patronage has gone towards accomplishing in 2021:
1) Continued operation of the Night Mind Index, which grew to include 134 entries. Think about that for a moment: your Patreon support has enabled over 130 independent and emerging creators to receive a spotlight and ha...
2022-01-01 01:47:18 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I hope December is treating all of you well, and I hope you're enjoying the new video on CH/SS! I was able to find time last month in the rush of preparing videos for the TV launch to whip up that script, and on my return early this month, I leapt into getting it done and on the channel.
Right Now: I've got a lot more videos from the existing NM catalogue to convert to the TV standard as part of that whole outlet, and finishing them is on A...
Hey everyone! First things first, I'm grateful for all of you, and this is certainly the kind of occasion to say it! You don't just support the channel and the Index, you're patient in sudden times of quiet and busy activity, as you've been this month, and I'd like to thank you all for that.
In keeping with the holiday, I'm going to push through my "don't jinx it" jitters and open up already about what's kept me occupied:
... I got a TV show.

Hey everyone,
I hope October was as good for you as it was for me! It was exciting and reinvigorating to give October on Night Mind its due again and bring back all the traditional touches. Blood Drive was a fun time, and I'm twice as excited for next year.
Typically, I get to sit back and breathe in November, catch up with you, catch up with things in general, and just enjoy the post-October atmosphere. But in the days leading up to Halloween, I received an opportunity I wanted...
Hey everyone!
First, thank you all for being supporters, as always! Thanks especially for all the support as I underwent the Trailhead project.
Now that it's complete, I do feel able to continue talks. (Though if you are in consultation with me and haven't watched at least the first Trailhead video yet, I greatly advise doing so.)
It is October, however, which means that every day is at least partly dedicated to October content work. Meanwhile, I am open to receiving and se...
Hey everyone,
I just wanted to give an update, since I've been shut up in the office awhile. Getting the info and images together for the Trailhead results video took longer than expected, double and triple-checking my work took awhile, and altogether, it's been quite an exercise.
The video is going to be a two-parter, now, because it really ended up that long.
For those of you waiting on me in consultation tiers: Thank you so, so much for your pati...
2021-09-18 04:38:07 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Just want to give a heads-up on those with consultations going on for projects. I'm doing a lot of Trailhead work this week, which is very enlightening for anyone making a project or hoping to. I'd like to get through the bulk of this before resuming conversation, because I'll have read a lot of firsthand knowledge that may greatly benefit us in workshopping.
I'll let you know when I'm back around to conduct full discussions!
2021-08-25 22:03:27 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
I'm actually working on another video right now to get out this week, so how about we host the Darkroom sometime on Sunday night? Maybe 9:00 PM EST or so? (August 8th)
2021-08-04 02:19:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
If you're part of the consultation tier for Patreon, this is a good weekend to get your creativity engaged and check your messages. Now that I've got the bulk of the month's demands behind me, I can sit down and get some talks going.
... Especially because I've got a whole lot of Trailhead messages in the inbox in the wake of announcing the project. One of the benefits of having this research underway is that I'll be able to use the immediate knowledge gaine...

I'm back from the busier half of June with a wonderfully open summer ahead (oh please oh please don't let me be jinxing myself saying that, for once, PLEASE).
I'm going to take a few days to attend to some things, get my bearings, make some plans, and I'll let you all know what's up with consultations, Darkroom, and more. For now, just know this: I'm very excited to dig into working for the summer hard, and want to produc...
2021-07-05 17:22:57 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Been a moment since I spoke up while I've had my head down attending to this, that, and all the other little things. Figured it was time for an update.
Right now, I'm working on the I Am Sophie end update, publishing next week.
Another video will come after that one on a main topic (also an update).
I'm going to try to have a Darkroom session towards the end of next week or so--some time around that weekend, I'll let you ...
2021-06-13 03:09:03 +0000 UTC View PostThis week was a weird week, which made for a weird weekend. So, we'll have Darkroom on April 28th, Wednesday afternoon, 7:30 PM EST.
Okay! It's been a busy few weeks, but I'm finally done with a lot of sudden obligation stuff. There's a lot more peace in the immediate future, which leaves room for Patreon stuff.
I'll be responding to consultation tier messages and doing check-ins throughout the week, so keep an eye out (and thank you for your patience).
Darkroom will be decided soon, I'll let you know here.
Hope you all enjoyed the Diminish video! And if you're...

In some video workflow right now, but wanted to pop in and say this weekend will be open for project consultation and Darkroom.
I'll run consultation through the weekend and do catch-ups. If you're in talks with me, send me a message through our normal means of contact, be it on here in messages or on Discord.
As for Darkroom, let's settle for 7:00 PM EST, this Saturday, March 20th.

If we're in talks for project consultation, send me a message on Discord (or on here, if that's where we've been speaking). If we haven't initiated it yet, but you're part of the tier or above, drop me a message on here and let's get started.
I'll be answering throughout the weekend, so don't worry if my reply isn't immediate.

Hey everyone,
I hope the first few weeks of the new year have met you kindly and generously! Let's carry the spirit of getting things started and seizing opportunities this weekend with some project consultations.
If you're in the tier and we've begun talking, message me where our discussions have taken place already to discuss things this weekend.
If you're in the tier or above and haven't begun, message me here on Patreon.

UPDATE: Going to make it 9:00 PM EST, actually--it's later on, which is always better, and I've been back on more strict nocturnal instincts. ;;3
2020-12-11 22:34:38 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Going to postpone this weekend's Darkroom session to next weekend, since I realized that while I've got this spiffy new mic to talk with, it does come with the problem of not being able to actually hear while I use it.
XLR microphones need interfaces, and those interfaces require XLR-type cable inputs for headphones. The headphones I was sent with my interface are the standard type you'd plug into a phone or game controller.
So, I've got to get that probl...

Good news: you're getting not just one, but TWO videos this week!
(Because it's a two-parter special!)
First one drops tomorrow, second drops later on.
I'll be having project consultations this coming weekend (December 5th and 6th) and we'll have a Darkroom session on Sunday, the 6th in Discord.
(Time to be decided and declared around Friday/Saturday.)

But after everything that was this year, that's what I wanted for November, and it's what I've been doing. The first video of December is underway, and it comes with a surprise that all of you have helped me get by supporting the channel:

2020-09-24 13:56:47 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Just an update on my workflow currently. At the moment, I'm still taking care of getting projects into the Index. (There were over 40 emails after the video!)
I'm also doing some related side work for October and have been following leads for new videos.
Who feels like having a darkroom and consultation weekend at the end of this week? ::3

There it is, everyone--the address is here.
All things considered, I felt .info was absolutely the way to go, since this is, first and foremost, an index for people.
Feel free to explore, enjoy the slate of content that's already here, and let me know what you think in the #nm-website-talk channel on our Discord.

Dear Patreon supporters,
I'm proud to announce that a whole lot has been happening outside the video work I've done since July, and at the end of this week, you're all going to be able to see it, as will every viewer of the channel.
One of the earliest goals I had on this Patreon when I opened it was a website--and while I had a plan for what I wanted to do, I just didn't really strike me as being a vision or need that was strong enough to take time and effort away from the regula...

I was helping some family move at the beginning of June, I had a big move to a new place and all the calamity that usually entails in the middle of June, and in the midst of a need to jump into some content creation ASAP to make sure the month of June wasn't totally barren, I had to help yet another family member move.
June, in a nutshell, ...

We're going to be having a community hangout (Darkroom Session) soon and some consultations for webseries/projects/etc.
But first, a Patreon goal is coming to fruition that's a bit overdue.
The Night Mind site is on its way, and I'm using this current time to build it and get it launched.
(Why do this now, though?)
Simply put--the time couldn't be better. I've created a lot of content that can be translated into a website sort of record that p...
