One of the things I'm wondering about is if I'm making Archie a little too broken here in the beginning. I mean, yes part of writing fiction is torturing your characters for fun and profit. That said, I wonder if I'm being too hard on Archie too soon.

Things aren't going to get better anytime soon. Archie's story has some miles to go before it's done.

Just wondering...

Good start

Don't worry, let the story tell itself.

No second guessing

yourself. Just remember you have to have some glimmers of hope to balance the darkness. Archie's attitude did a lot of that in the first chapter. Perhaps he'd given up, but he was determined not to cause hurt to his granddad. He has a nobility of spirit.

You're doing good!

If there's one thing...

If there is one thing i have learned from my friend about writing a characters story its this: The character will tell you what its doing, you just tell it to others for them. I actually like to read stories with alot of issues. it adds to the intrigue of the plot and lets me think more about who this character is.

problems

Without some darkness in it it's just some porno story (wanted to put that better couldn't think of how) so I say let the story run it's course.
