I'm part of the summer slump as I have both been reading and writing less in the last two months.

Also, I agree that there hasn't been incentive to write on the platform. Reads are low and my "featured" articles don't perform nearly as well as they use to. When I do find time to write, I tend to publish on NewsBreak which does offer incentives (grants, monthly promotions, etc). I need reinforcement apparently to write. : )
