This week's question is from @randypurdy4085:

"My current story is all about an eight-year-old, and she is the main character. I remember being eight, and my life wasn't very reactive at all, it was more passive- listening to my parents, and such. Do you think the main passive character will be a flop? Do have any advice to how I can boost up the life of a passive character? Would appreciate any comments. Thank you."
