So Zen...I was just talking about "not being sticky" last night. Thank you for reminding me of that important lesson. I feel there is a layered cake everyone eats in becoming a steemit author. Obviously not everyone can take it, I am referring to the stats. New users and active users are at a local high but authors is at a low. This speaks to the difficulty a bit I think. Personally I feel this is a great opportunity and motivator. I am now thinking about how to be more engaging and active in my life so that I will have active and engaging content to produce without struggling through "what to write about". Inspiration has come from my recruits a bit, one travels, one is an artist, and the other started a diet to write about. All three now have a content base from which to pull from. These me/inner me posts might just be mine, your comment of recreating past success is why I made a second post with the same theme. I fell I have a few more in me as I am in my head a lot anyway.
