Can't rewrite...that's part of the point of this challenge. You know what we're all talking about, right? NaNoMoWri? And I guess I don't really HATE him...I'll just like him better later in the story when he's had more of a chance to prove himself. Right now he's depressed, and with good reason...but it's making ME depressed. ;-)
I'll shut up about him now. I have nothing else to do but write and post this afternoon, so I'm whining...
I feel for you! But, change him as soon as you can otherwise you might not want to finish the story. Don't worry about whining. It's okay...
