    The protagonist should get whacked with a huge change in their life on the first page, or you’re floundering.

    Obviously this fellow wants to be a book editor, but had to take the construction job to pay the bills. It’s the old story of Truth, Beauty and The Wolf At The Door.

    Apt foils for the crabby Charlotte.

    Always take literary advice that’s offered by a workman with a coat of arms tattoo on his bicep. Those are the ones who will buy your novels.

    Yeah, this all scans—last construction crew I had the “honor” of being in the same building in and trying to get work done went out of their way to be less than helpful in that regard.

    They turned out to not be particularly good at their own jobs either, as more than a year later and we’re still finding issues to the work they had done due to them cutting as many corners they could get away with.

    Looks like a good advice to me.
