I have continued to "try" be the idea machine for quite a while. After that I stopped writing for more than a year. Now that I have started in Steemit I am suffering from lack of ideas and words are not coming out of me they used to before. Will have to start on the journey to be a idea machine again. James Altucher is right. The idea muscle atrophies and not practicing your art brings you to the same place where you started. Liked your initiative of book. Looking forward for the next chapter. Great going.
