This is the easiest story to write, ever! I'm sort of in awe of how it just flows out of me.
On the other hand, I'm a little afraid of it. As easy as it's been to write, I'm a little afraid that the hero (who is also the narrator) is hard and unsympathetic. I just wrote a scene between him and his ex-girlfriend and even though I thought I set it up pretty clearly that she's a manipulative bitch, I'm still not sure he comes off well.
Of course, real people aren't perfect, so characters in stories probably shouldn't be, either. Still, if his attitude and actions alienate readers (most of whom, I expect, will be women), that can't be good.
I need a read. Anyone?

I doubt he's an a**hole Jackie. And even if he is, sometimes if he's mean in the right way it can be kinda sexy.
