Lost Journals

It has been at least a year since a piece of writing has kept me awake. I'm sick and I need my sleep - damn it!

The decision - should the protagonist be male or female?

My peer editing group says male. However, I think Ayrn and Gabe have too much emotionally invested in the male character to objectively make a decision. Ayrn played the lead once and I think Gabe doesn't want to admit that I am capable of being Margot. But Margot is part of my past.

I thank you both for your input; however, the protagonist will remain to be Margot. I think with Margot in the lead it breaks the male/female stereotype. More often you see men catergorized as pigs but women are often guilty of the same treachery - we just don't get caught. Nor do you see many men struggling with and confronting the problems of relationship past.

I hope with some strong dialogue changes and an additional character (the rapist) you might see it my way. Now maybe I can get some sleep.
