Most of it for me is I go through times snd topics of things I want to write about and then other times I dont have anything of value to contribute.
Another issue I run into is time vs return. Im not saying I do Steem for the money, but if the money was better I could spend more time researching abd writing vs doing things like mowing the lawn or cleaning the house.
Glad to see people come back and am eagerly awaiting what will come in the next bear market. I think growing a presence for Steem on Twitter and other social media sites isnt nothing, but I get what youre saying.
Yes, I feel you, it's up and down regarding inspiration for Steem as well - it's normal. Time vd Return is a reasonable factor as well - although the 'return' in STEEM is actually super high now. But I know what you mean, FIAT bills need to be paid as well :-)
PS: I saw your name on twitter recently and now I understand that @gniksivart isn't some Viking sounding username, but just a 'read it backwards' type of situation :D Had to laugh when I realized.
