You may feel uninspired, but you still came up with a cool post. I think it's best to try and keep the quality up to keep the followers interested even if it means a few less posts each week. Having some running themes helps. I don't plan my posts, but I generally have a few ideas noted down that I can use.

Stick with it through these 'hard times' and you will reap the benefits layer. I've said many times that steem has been much lower than this and what I made then is worth a lot more even now.
