MM 05 - Fall in Love with the Grind again
Have you ever hit that wall where everything you once loved feels like a chore? One minute you’re pumped about your latest comic, cosplay, or kitbashing project, and the next, you’re staring at your workspace wondering why the hell you even started. Yeah, we’ve all been there.
This week on the FWACATA Podcast, we’re diving into how to rekindle your passion for creativity—whether you’re making comics, painting miniatures, crafting props, or just trying to push through that creative slump. It’s time to fall back in love with your craft and remember why you started in the first place.
Burnout is real – When creativity turns into deadlines and obligations, it starts feeling like work.
Comparison kills passion – You see amazing work from others and suddenly, your stuff doesn’t feel good enough.
Repetition fatigue – Grinding through the same creative routine can drain the excitement.
🔥 Revisit Your Inspirations – Go back to the comics, movies, or games that made you want to create in the first place. Sometimes, a quick dive into your favorite fandom is all it takes to get the energy flowing again.
🛠 Experiment with Side Projects – Step away from the “serious” work and just play. Kitbash a weird mech, doodle nonsense, or paint a mini-figure with zero expectations. Creativity thrives when you’re having fun.
🤝 Find Your Creative Tribe – Join a Discord, hop into a subreddit, or hit up other creatives on Instagram. Surrounding yourself with others who love what you love keeps the passion alive.
📖 Make it a Game – Set small, achievable goals. Finish one panel, one page, one character sketch—then reward yourself. Progress builds momentum, and momentum builds success.
Perfection is a trap. The act of creating—no matter how messy, weird, or imperfect—is more important than the final product. Mistakes? Happy accidents. Ugly first drafts? Just stepping stones to something amazing.
“My piece of shit is better than your perfect nothing.” – That’s the mantra. Keep creating, keep pushing, and most importantly, keep loving what you do.
