Rewarding vs Fun
Working on webcomics can take years, and what once started as a cool shiny story idea may not seem as interesting as it used to. Trying to find fun in a story, and taking regular breaks like we talk about in our hiatus episode, is essential for keeping yourself out of burnout territory. But! We all need to feel, on some level, rewarded by the process of making webcomics, too. And that might not come from the sources you immediately think of. So let’s take a deeper dive into these two elements!
What do you find the most fun and the most rewarding about your comic making process? What is the difference to you between “fun” and “rewarding” when making your comic?
What is your advice to someone who doesn’t feel like their webcomic idea is “fun” anymore?
What is your advice to someone who isn’t seeing any kinds of “rewards” from their webcomic?
