Oh yes, and don't let previous success be your downfall.
One of my posts got curated. I made some money, and what do you know - it was AFTER that that I got "writer's block", "analysis paralysis".

I hope you've got your 'mojo' back now :)
Consistency is certainly ket, but only you are qualified to know how far you can be consistent (I hope that makes sense...)
I stopped writing because I became preoccupied with something going on in my 'real life' and it became harder to return to Steemit.
