Heh...at least I don't have that problem. ;-)

I've been back chewing at a sort of sci-fi thriller story I started a few years back. My main problems are that the main female character can spend chapter upon chapter alternately worrying and whining, and the main guy keeps getting into fights, and I can't write fight scenes worth doodly-squat.

And the main gal just became a good character when she's supposed to be sort of reformed evil. Luckily there are plenty of evil characters to go around, but it means revamping the whole plot, several years into the past. But the original way doesn't work as well.

teenage boys + camping trip = potty humor.

Ya know, a character like that could be real interesting. Maybe she's still evil by the readers' standards, but relative to the real baddies she's the good guy.
