I feel you man, if you're gonna be doing this for the rest of your life you don't want to be known for doing something you hate, there's a fanbase out there for everything and life is all about balance, perhaps you should do something more that meets in the middle, something you like that is fan art.
As for the character thing, I'm sorry to hear about it but doing a character for the sake of doing a character actually is good practice, if you may stumble on one you'll grow attached to and maybe just holding out for that one month your skills will increase immensely. I know when I do one month challenge I always learn something from it, making a character apart of your routine won't hurt.
I know we talk about art based on feelings, but to increase skill we sometimes have to do things that are boring and bland, it's knowing when to pick and choose which is the hardest. If you had a job you don't call out cause you're not feeling inspired you work through the shitty days. That being said you did say that there was no time and I do understand, don't want to be too hard on you friend. Perhaps we can do a monthly challenge together sometime to hold us both accountable :).
