Dude, been there done that a dozen times and I probably will a dozen times more.

It happens when I have no idea how to tackle a post. It happens when I have too many ideas floating around and my mind wants to mix and match topics that shouldn't really be combined. I've written and rewritten and completely scrapped some posts. I think it's just the nature of being a writer. You just don't have all the knowledge, all the experience and all the motivation at times to come up with something awesome every time out.

I've found that a combination of grinding and stepping away have helped me. It just depends. If I have the desire, than I might push through and get it done. If I don't even have the desire, than no matter of pushing is going to make it look right.

So, I think in this case, if you're experience on Steemit thus far has been so positive, or you've generally downplayed the negative, than trying to come up with something wasn't going to sound genuine anyway.

In this case, what you described was how you felt, and what came through was the frustration of wanting to do your best every time out even if the topic isn't one you have much to write about.

I think you did exactly the right post for you. :)
