Been struggling with writing characters that are decent and kind without being boring. It isn't easy. Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables says it best: "Well, I wouldn't marry anyone who was really wicked, but I think I'd like it if he could be wicked and wouldn't."
I know I am teetering on the edge with Bram. He is a nice guy, he really doesn't have it in him to be mean. That is Paul's job ;) So, I am thinking about going back and adding more in the insanity area, letting James affect him a little more. Poor Bram needs more flaws. He is borderline too perfect.
This reminds me of a shirt I saw recently, loved it, want to own it! It read Some people were born to suffer. We call them protagonists.
