I feel your pain. For me, it's all psychological. I'm not to the point where I am into Steemit as an income source, I am here to build audience and loyal followers. I'm thinking this is the time for me to double down and do more because there is less and less good content on Steemit.
Yep the payouts are down. Yep, my account is just barely worth the amount of money I have invested. I still think this is the time to go for it, not slow down.
But if it's Writer's Block? That comes to us all. I have times and specific posts where I just can't seem to coax the words out of my fingers. I've been around the block enough times that I know it will come back. I will be able to write coherently again, and may even have one more original thought in my life. So I try not to worry about that too much. I can always go for a ride. At least then I am enjoying not writing!
Thanks for a wonderful post. I really appreciate it.
