It's the most wonderful time of the year…
The holidays are fast approaching. It's already December, which means it's just a matter of weeks until Christmas. As a business owner, it's high-time to get your business ready to face the hustle and bustle of the holiday season looming in the future.
But how exactly can you plan for the season? We put together a survival guide designed to help you fortify your business (and your mind!) for the upcoming holidays.
Tips for Surviving the Holiday Season
1. Embrace the festivities.
Decorate! We're talking Christmas lights, fake snow, garlands, wreaths, blow-up Santas, everything! Welcome consumers to your business by drawing them in with your dedication to the holidays. Prove that you're ready for the busy holiday season! There's nothing wrong with spreading some holiday cheer.
2. Use slow periods to your benefit.
On slower days or slow times during busy days, use the lull in activity to get your responsibilities taken care of. Restocking, reorganizing, cleaning, and resting should occur during these periods so that your business is in tip-top shape when it starts to pick up again!
3. Don't overwork your staff.
Yes, this includes yourself. Schedule appropriate breaks and avoid making your employees work more hours than they're comfortable with. This is a good reason to hire seasonal workers! You'll have extra sets of hands without sacrificing time to rest and recuperate.
Remember that it's the holidays. Your staff will likely need time off and personal days so they can celebrate with their loved ones. Be understanding!
4. Connect with your customers.
The most important aspect of your business during the entire year, not just the holidays, is the consumers who choose to spend their money on you. The best way to guarantee survival during the holiday season is to give back to your customers.
Offering deals, coupons, and gift cards is how you're going to entice shoppers to your business to spend their money on your products or services. Be competitive! Make your business impossible to ignore with show-stopping doorbusters and impossible-to-pass-up bargains. It's the season of giving, after all!
5. Be prepared.
For holiday seasons to come, remember that it's better to do your preparations earlier rather than later. In the weeks and months leading up to the busiest time of the year, order extra inventory, interview for seasonal positions, and have a plan for deals and sales to make your business a go-to this winter. Make a list of things you need to accomplish (and check it twice)!
Don't forget the details, either – this includes designing posters, advertisements, gift cards, and other holiday essentials. Take charge and you'll be fine!
This means that if you haven't already this year, now is a good time to brace yourself for the upcoming holidays of Christmas and New Years by ordering extra inventory and hiring seasonal staff. Make sure you have promotional materials ready to go.

What is the Devil in Revelation 12?
Question: Revelation 12:7–9 seems to argue that the devil is a rebel angel. Is this the case?
Rev 12: 7-9 And there was war in heaven … and the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with
This passage is often used by those who argue that the devil is a rebel angel. A JW publication puts it this way:
"In Eden, Satan used the serpent. And so the Bible identifies the Devil, or Satan, as 'the original serpent,' hence the one who really introduced rebellion and wickedness into the universe. – Revelation 12:9"
"Christ would then oust Satan from heaven [1914], the seat of government, hurling him down to the vicinity of the earth, in preparation for putting him completely out of action. In the heavens the grand announcement would then be made: 'Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ.' But for the earth, what? 'Woe … because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time.' (Revelation 12:5,7–9)
The devil of Revelation 12 is nowhere stated to be a fallen angel. Satan in the narrative is a red dragon (v.3), not a fallen angel, and if the red dragon is symbolic of a fallen angel, then proof that the symbol should be interpreted this way is required. The argument that Satan is a fallen angel is therefore inferred, since it is not stated that such is the case in the passage.
For those who teach that Satan was cast out of heaven before the creation of man, it needs to be noted that this cannot be argued from this passage since the book of Revelation was written about AD 96, and it contains prophecies that are stated to be about "things which [were] shortly [to] come to pass" (i.e. future to that time). (Revelation 1:1).
A discussion on Revelation 12 requires that a clear distinction be made between the literal and the figurative and that a criterion or reason by which to make the choice be established before the discussion. By a fast-and-loose treatment of the figurative and literal in a predominantly symbolic book, one can make a passage support nearly any presupposition.
It is therefore important to distinguish the literal and the figurative use of the key words in Revelation 12. The following approach aims to establish step by step that the dragon, heavens and war are all symbolic and are not to be taken literally:
The devil of this passage is a "great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth" (vv. 3,4). Is, or is not, this a literal description of the fallen-angel devil? Is the devil really a literal great red dragon?
Assuming that it is conceded that the dragon is figurative; is the heaven of v. 7 also figurative? (The answer is inevitable: "No".) The use of the word "heaven" in the preceding verses must then be examined to show whether or not there is consistency in decision that the word "heaven" is used figuratively here.
Is the heaven of v. 1 figurative? (The reply must be "yes" since the woman is clothed with the sun and the moon is under her feet, which would be a literal impossibility). Is the heaven of verse 3 the same heaven, or a different heaven from the heaven of verse 1? (Consistency demands that the answer again be "yes)
Assuming that it is conceded that the heaven of verse 3 is also figurative, it only remains by the same reasoning to establish that the heaven of verse 7 is the same heaven, and therefore, is also figurative. Since the dragon and heaven are figurative, then the war (v. 7) must also be figurative, since one cannot have a literal war when its location and one of the combatants are figurative.
Hence we cannot use this passage to prove that the Devil is a literal fallen angel. All of these terms are being used figuratively.
We need to understand the use of the symbol "great red dragon" so that we can then understand why it should carry the label "old serpent, Devil, Satan". This is a long discussion that is beyond a very simple note like this. However the origins of many of the symbols in the book of Revelation are to be found in the book of Daniel. Revelation goes on to elaborate the last animal in Daniel's vision in Dan. 7 v3-7. The great and terrible beast of Dan 7 v7 can be shown to be the cruel and vicious Roman Empire.
Revelation then elaborates this beast further…
Rev 12 – refers to a great red dragon
Rev 13 – shows how the great red dragon gives its power to the beast of the sea.
Rev 17 – then shows now this beast of the sea metamorphoses into the scarlet beast
It can be shown that the various stages above relate to
The Roman Empire (pagan)
The Roman Empire (when it became so called "Christian" under the emperor Constantine)
The "Holy Roman Empire" – which existed in Catholic Europe for many years
These are all progressive sequences in a wicked cruel empire exercising corrupt and false spiritual power over the nations. This empire was against God (an adversary to him) and carried a significant set of lies (false teaching). Hence the term Satan (adversary) and Devil (liar / false accuser) could naturally be applied to the symbolic elements of this metamorphosing dragon.
We need to also understand the word "angel" in the context of this verse. The word "angel" in the Bible means messenger. There are plenty of examples of the word angel used of God's messengers – this is the use of the traditional word". However there are places where the word angel is translated as either messenger or ambassador – where the person concerned is clearly a human.
1Sa 23:27 But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land. (messenger here is the same word for angel – clearly a human)
Hag 1:13 Then spake Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD. (as above – this is the same word for angel – but here the messenger is Haggai)
So when we come across the word in Revelation we need to know if this is a real traditional spiritual angel (God's messenger) or a human being a messenger.
Clearly in the context of Revelation 12, the angels are messengers or ambassadors or representatives of the evil Roman Empire and its subsequent metamorphosis into a corrupt religious system. Finally these angel's being corrupt priests of a corrupt religious organisation.

The facts, while interesting, are irrelevant.
The truth is what you make it.
And the truth is going to be that this gown fit wonderfully and she wore it all summer!
You already know that I enjoy browsing Sew, Mama, Sew's blog for inspiration. More than a year ago, I saw this adorable pillowcase-to-nightgown idea. I remembered buying an embroidered case at a local consignment shop with the intention of using it as a sweet dress for one of the girls. I tabled the project while we traveled to New Orleans and visited family.
During our stay at my parent's home, I rummaged through my mother's linen closet and found a set of pillowcases embroidered with kitty cats. Since the pillowcases had been buried in the closet (I'd lived in that house for years and hadn't ever seen them), I asked my mother if I could take them home and use them for the nightgown project. I'd asked this while Nana was tending to dinner and surrounded by children, so she agreed without really looking. (Note to self, always do the asking when the person being questioned is otherwise occupied).
I didn't get to make the gowns last summer, but finally pulled them out a few weeks ago. For the first one, I followed the pattern for a size 2/3 . I should have considered the fact that Irish Jig is tall and stocky.
While I can get her into the gown, there's just not enough ease around the chest for it to be comfortable and I'm afraid she'll rip the seams apart when putting it on or taking it off. That said, it's so dang adorable!
Of course, I kept having her tell me what kind of animals these were (see #2 in this post)
I called my mother to tell her the woebegone tale of the gown and she regaled me with the back story on the kitten pillow cases. She told me that she'd embroidered them when she was about 8. Because her mother worked an evening shift at the local hospital, she'd spend the after school hours at her father's auto repair shop/ gas station. She has wonderful memories of sitting on a stool stitching and talking to her father while he worked.
Knowing the dress didn't fit, I felt horrible! Neither of the girls would wear this one. Oh, sure, I can make the matching case into a larger size gown, but this one goes immediately into the Vintage Collection.
Or does it? The truth is what we make it, remember? The fact that the dress doesn't really fit is irrelevant. I took a slew of pictures to put into the family album. Years from now, her reality will be only the stories she'd heard about her wearing the gown made from Nana's sweet childhood stitches.
And that's the rest of the story.

Templates for Outlook
Templates are at the core of Yesware – they let you create personal, customized messages for every stage of your sales process. At their most basic, templates are messages that you've saved to your Yesware account that you can use for future emails.
Using templates, you can send rich, complete emails to prospects in a fraction of the time it would take to draft that message each time you needed it.
To add an image to a template, you'll need to host your images in a public-facing place like imgur.com. You can read our guide on using images in templates here.
Team Template Sharing
Yesware helps teams of salespeople by making it simple to streamline their email communications. In addition to creating a team in Yesware and gaining insight into team activities, our Team and Enterprise plans include a centralized team template library.

Alternatively, you can head to your Yesware account to review and add recently updated templates into your team categories. To do this, click My Account from the Yesware drop down in Outlook. From there, select Templates > Team > Review Updates.
When you click the "Review Templates" link, you'll see a list of recently edited or created templates gathered from each of your team members.

What is the difference between eau de toilette and eau de parfum?
Posted by EauYesNY on 18th Nov 2017
Selecting an ideal perfume a beginner is really hard. Understanding the type of scents and how they blend with the skin and wearing the right perfume for a particular occasion can be tricky. you should not face any difficulties as we have got it covered over here. There are some fundamental concepts you need to keep in mind.
Perfumes can be distinguished based on many characteristics and the main differences lie in their concentrations. In order of concentration, the fragrances can be divided into Perfume, Eau De Parfum, Eau de Toilette and Eau de Cologne.
If you observe the perfumes you, you can find either the words "Eau De Parfum" or "Eau de Toilette" on the label. The strength or weakness of the concentration in a perfume determines the price of the perfume. Due to a high concentration of essence in perfume, they are most expensive amongst the mentioned four.
Eau De Parfum
The concentration of the essence in Eau De Parfum products is about 15%, making it second in the list of strongest form of scent. The scent can last long for the complete day due to the intensity of the high notes. You can spray it on the dress as well as on your hair which holds the scent to make sure you remain fragrant throughout the day. Although it has lesser concentration than that of perfume, you can buy for a very cheap rate.
Eau de Toilette
The Eau de Toilette has about 10% of essence concentration. The base note of this type is very strong but fades away very quickly. It is an ideal perfume to wear during summer. It is referred as "aromatic water". This kind of spray lasts for 3 hours at max. This is the most popular type of spray compared the perfumes and Eau De Parfum, as it is cheap and widely sold.
The image on the right is one of the most popular perfume of this segment: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet Fragrance
Eau De Parfum or Eau de Toilette: When to wear?
Well, as we have mentioned everything you should know about the types of Perfumes, you should be a good position to decide which one to wear. But do you know when you should apply Eau De Parfum or Eau de Toilette? As different occasions require different clothes, you should wear different perfumes for the same, as well.
In summers, it is highly advisable to wear perfumes of type Eau de Toilette. You can re-apply it, if the scent fades away. The Eau De Parfum should be applied to a party or any other social gathering. The scent stays for a long period and keeps your fragrance great for the whole day.

Your next appointment is six months after surgery, then once a year unless told otherwise. These appointments give you a chance to discuss any concerns about your total joint replacement or other joints in which symptoms may develop.
Lifelong Fitness
The goal of your surgery is to give you a new joint that allows you to perform everyday activities with less pain. However, this joint is not indestructible. Avoid sports or other activities that may put stress on the joint until discussed with your surgeon. Stay as active as you can after recovering from your surgery.
Ask your surgeon or therapist about activities and exercises that are right for you. It may or may not be appropriate to return to the exercise routine that you used before surgery.
An increase in body weight puts stress on your joint, so try to maintain a healthy weight. Potential Complications
Blood Clots
Blood clots are potential complications following hip or knee joint replacement surgery. A blood clot from your leg can travel to your lungs and cause serious health complications. Preventing a blood clot from forming is the best treatment method.
You can lower your risk of developing a blood clot by:
- Exercising and staying active (moving about).
- Taking blood thinners, such as aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin®), Lovenox, or other drugs.
- Wearing support stockings.
Some foods and supplements may alter the effectiveness of blood-thinning medications, such as foods with high amounts of vitamin K. Talk to your surgeon about certain foods to avoid while on this medication.
The symptoms of a blood clot include:
- Pain and / or redness in your calf and leg unrelated to your incision.
- Increased swelling of your thigh, calf, ankle, or foot.
- Increased skin temperature at the site of the incision.
- Shortness of breath and chest pain or pain when breathing.
If you develop any of these symptoms, go to the nearest emergency department or call 911.
Surgical Site Infection
A surgical site infection (SSI) is an infection that occurs after surgery in the part of the body where the surgery took place. Most patients who have surgery do not develop an infection.
Some common symptoms of surgical site infection are:
- Increased redness and pain around the area where you had surgery
- Any drainage, in particular, cloudy fluid from your surgical wound
- Fever
If any of these symptoms occur contact your surgeon's office immediately.
Preventing Infection
Preventing infection is extremely important for the rest of your life. Your new joint is artificial and does not have your body's natural protection against infection. It is possible to develop an infection in your artificial joint if antibiotics are not taken before certain procedures. These procedures include:
- Dental procedures
- Colonoscopy/Sigmoidoscopy
- Cystoscopy/Genitourinary instrumentation
- Prostate and/or bladder surgery
- Kidney surgery
- Cardiac catheterization
- Barium enema
- Endoscopy
Before having any procedures, let the physician or dentist doing the procedure know you have an implant. He or she should provide antibiotics. You may also contact the surgeon who performed your joint replacement to obtain the appropriate prescription antibiotics, if needed.

While shoes for crews are a well known and highly recommended brand, they have always caused a lack of circulation in my toes :(. I have gone the way of sketchers work shoes, they take longer to break in, but once broken in they have been the most comfortable work shoes I have ever found.

OTC Bitcoin Trading: How to Keep Whales Happy
The Tokyo Whale Strikes
Nobuaki Kobayashi, head attorney for the Mt. Gox trust, has been dubbed the "Tokyo Whale". Between late September 2017 and March 2018, the trust flooded the Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash markets with almost NZD$570 million dollars' worth of coins.
Noticing this massive increase in liquidity, people started panic selling, causing prices to drop further and further (slippage). Bitcoin investors were not happy with Kobayashi at all. The community expressed their anger on Reddit over this "market flooding" at a time when prices were already under pressure.
But, if you want to buy or sell large amounts of Bitcoin, how can you do so without swinging the market? How do you avoid causing an uproar in the cryptosphere?
The answer is simple: over-the-counter Bitcoin trading.
What is OTC Trading?
Over-the-counter (OTC) trading is a service used by high-volume traders looking to buy or sell large amounts of cryptocurrency. A "large amount" is a loose term; it's used to describe transactions of 25BTC or more by some, or 100BTC or more by others.
Generally, large purchases of crypto don't take place on traditional exchanges to avoid problems with slippage. OTC facilitators act as liquidity providers by holding large amounts of crypto themselves, or by connecting buyers to sellers who do.
There are several different OTC service types available such as Bitcoin ATMs, chatrooms, and brokers. We will delve into what these are shortly but first, why do we need OTC services?
Why Bother with OTC Bitcoin Trading?
Hedge funds, family offices, private wealth managers, or high-net-worth individuals tend to place large volume trades. The reasons to use OTC services as opposed to an exchange are simple: better prices, faster transactions, and decreased risk (depending on the OTC provider's reputation, obviously).
1. Price
OTC trades provide the benefit of one, upfront, fixed price for the entire amount of BTC you wish to buy or sell. Conversely, large trades on an exchange are made up of multiple smaller transactions which generally increase in price. To illustrate this, a significant trade on Blockchain.info (21/03/18), of 339.85 BTC, required 2,383 transactions to process. Placing a substantial-sized order on an exchange can result in the entire market shifting up or down, which may not be in your favour. As a result, the overall cost of the trade is higher because of slippage.
2. Speed
OTC trades can be processed quickly as they aren't subject to market liquidity on exchanges. You are merely transacting with one entity who holds the entire value you require (whether that be fiat or crypto).
3. Fewer counterparty risks
By using a trusted broker, you avoid the risks commonly associated with cryptocurrency exchanges. E.g., hacking used to steal funds from exchanges such as the 2014 Mt. Gox attack with over NZD$600 million lost.
Overlooked fact: The OTC market for Bitcoin is bigger than the exchange market. Exchanges set the price but large trades don't happen there.
— Vinny Lingham (@VinnyLingham) June 26, 2016
How can you do OTC Bitcoin Trading?
As mentioned earlier, there are several different types of OTC trade. Each follows three steps.
- Firstly, find a counterparty to trade with.
- Secondly, negotiate the details of the trade.
- Lastly, complete the trade.
Bitcoin ATMs
Bitcoin ATMs allow users to convert fiat into crypto directly. In New Zealand, there is currently one in Auckland and one in Dunedin. Unfortunately, transactions on the machines here are capped at NZD$6000 per day. You can read more about the 3000+ ATMs available worldwide on Coin ATM Radar's site.
The first major trade of BTC occurred on the Freenode IRC chatroom #bitcoin-otc. This form of OTC trading is more suited for advanced users as all interactions take place via Gribble bot. Gribble bot uses commands to enter orders e.g. ;;buy 100 BTC at "0.9 * {bitstamplast}" PPUSD . There is no automatic system in place to match buyers and sellers. Furthermore, you must negotiate with the counterparty directly. This directness means you have to ascertain the level of risk for trading with a particular party yourself.
A broker may charge you a fixed fee to negotiate the terms of the trade on your behalf. This type of broker is known as an inter-dealer broker. Alternatively, a broker may act as the counterparty, providing the liquidity for the trade themselves. This type is known as "principal" OTC trading, and the fee charged is to cover the broker's risk safely.
In essence, both types of broker take out the hard work involved with vetting counterparties and monitoring exchange fluctuation. Also, a broker makes the transaction more private as only involved parties are aware of the trade at the time.
OTC Bitcoin Trading vs Exchanges
Over-the-counter Bitcoin trading enables the movers and shakers of the cryptoverse to quietly and calmly conduct their business. It prevents the so-called "whales" from causing tidal waves of volatility in an already surging ocean. With large volume trades happening off exchanges, it allows markets to tick along nicely and minimises panicked trading decisions in the community. In conclusion, OTC Bitcoin trading benefits everyone in the long run by preventing market slippage while providing the best prices overall.

Last month saw the release of the videogame Hitman: Absolution, the latest game in the long-running Hitman series rabidly anticipated by fans as it had been over six years since the last instalment. I was one such fan, eagerly awaiting the 20th of November to be given the opportunity once more to sneak around and murder my instructed targets. Although early impressions of the game left me enamoured with the open nature of the design and the way in which experimentation was nurtured; it was all soured by a game-breaking bug which leads to the game system stalling and your saved data being deleted. It appears to be a relatively common bug with fan backlash being rather understandably negative. While the developers have said that they were unaware of this glitch and are 'working day and night' to get it resolved, it seems to be just another example of developers growing complacency in terms of dealing with technical issues.
While the reaction of IO Interactive would suggest genuine ignorance of the problem, there have been a slew of other examples of buggy games being released in recent memory, with Resident Evil 6 and Assassin's Creed 3 being two other examples of hotly anticipated games mired by technical issues. The dilemma of glitches in games has become far more prevalent within the last eight years due to the advent of widespread broadband penetration. This cycle of home consoles was the first in which developers were given the opportunity to 'patch' their titles. This would allow consumers to receive downloadable technical updates for the games they had purchased in order to improve the performance of the product post release.
While this was seemingly envisioned as an altruistic feature to facilitate better enjoyment for the consumer, it has equally propagated a somnolent attitude towards spotting technical issues. This was rather grossly demonstrated at the launch of Assassin's Creed 3 where a patch was available on launch day to fix some major glitches. Ubisoft, the developers if Assassin's Creed, even went as far as to release a statement regarding a day one patch in light of negative reviews. While the patch did fix many of the bugs cited by reviewers, many more were left unaddressed. Despite all this, Assassin's Creed 3 still managed to have the biggest launch of the whole series.
Other mediums are not etched in stone either with movies getting director's cuts, albums being re-mastered and books being released with their manuscript endings as opposed to that originally published, but only in videogames does this back up plan seem to be becoming a crutch for larger developers. While one would assume that a smaller game would be less technically proficient as publishers would not have the resources to do extensive testing, in fact the opposite appears true. In recent memory, mid-tier games such as The Darkness II and Dragon's Dogma launched with very few technical issues while it is the blockbusters that are letting people down with their contempt for the day one buyers. This kind of conduct is highly anti-consumer and is frankly unfair to costumers that have spent upwards of €50 for what is being sold as a complete product. While the interactive nature of video games does allow for some understanding in terms of unexpected glitches, I would strongly suggest adopting a 'wait and see' mentally when purchasing new titles so as to avoid becoming a victim of the 'buggy' game.

The Irish Times – August 13, 2016 – see article
"Dude, this is the greatest place on earth!" I'm sitting at an outdoor table, tucking into a salad of baby kale, avocado, dates and roasted almonds, all locally grown, of course. The guy sitting at the table next to me – perfect abs, ultra-white smile – is thrilled when I tell him I'm just visiting for a few days.
"Man! It's so cool that you get to travel to places like this. You should stick around a while." Because this is California and not the south of France, the preening smugness that comes with living la dolce vita is offset by a casual, friendly charm that both disarms me and makes me resentful I can't stick around for any more than a few days.
What makes it worse is that all this privilege comes with a conscience, especially in relation to the environment. Almost everything comes with an eco prefix, from car-free initiatives to the enthusiastic embrace of the locavore movement.

Do you blog for today, or for someday?
In other words, do you sit down and write about what inspires you in the moment, to an audience of right now? Do you imagine your readers reading the posts today or tomorrow, first thing in the morning? Do you care at all whether a surfer who trips on your site a year from now will connect or care in any way about the post, or do you write for a community of followers and commenters who will have a conversation, with you and each other, in something close to real time?
Or do you write carefully thought out pieces of prose that you just know are exactly the right answer to someone's need, somewhere, somewhen — not necessarily now? Perhaps you imagine that your readers find you by searching on aswang, chupacabra, or whatever your subject is, and discovering your work; maybe this happens tomorrow, maybe next year. But whenever it happens, your readers think "Aha! This is exactly what I was looking for!" Or so you hope.
I started thinking about these questions today. My company's professional blog (Win-Vector) has always been the second kind, and when I started Multo, I had the "second kind" of mindset as well. It's funny, really — writing for the "someday", as I mostly do, is an inherently optimistic mindset: I'm casting my posts out like messages in a bottle, and trusting that the ocean will float them to the right people, whether I ever find out about it or not — and I probably won't. I'm not a terribly optimistic person, by nature. And yes, I know that the proper marketing to generate engagement with my blog would help tons; I don't do a lot of that, by choice, but that decision is a topic for another post… .
You've probably read the Martha Graham quote (from a letter to Agnes DeMille):
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable it is nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than others.
I'm no Martha Graham; I won't even claim to be an artist. But I think I get what she means. Some things one does because one has to.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not implying blogging for Someday is either better or worse than blogging for Today. And most bloggers probably do a combination of both, anyway. I'm just observing that, for those of us who lean towards "Someday blogging," the rewards are more abstract, and external rewards can be far less immediate. There's a difference in the two mindsets that's worth pointing out; I think so, at least.
And maybe other people do, too. Somewhere. Somewhen.
