So this was cool...

...was bumming around this place looking for an agent/publisher for "Flotilla" and came across this test, which helps you decide whether or not your protagonist is worth reading about. Click here for the test and get comfy as it takes a few minutes.

I'm happy to say that they had the following to say about the protagonist of 'Flotilla' - Jim:

"Jim is only a little like you. He is not at all cool; in fact, he thinks cool is a temperature reading, and when he says "Oh, I just put on whatever old thing's lying around," he means "on the floor, where I threw it last night - but I turned the underwear inside out first." There's never been anything special about him that he could see; boy, is he in for a surprise. He's got no emotional scars to speak of. And he's gotten no slack from you.

In general, you care deeply about Jim, but you're smart enough to let him stand on his own, without burdening him with your personal fantasies or propping him up with idealization and over-dramatization. Jim is a healthy character with a promising career ahead of him."
