I don’t want to embarrass anyone, but It has to be said.
Some scripts reek of “Superhero Me”.
Not that the protag has super powers, but they’re quick with a comeback, they don’t make mistakes and improbably attractive people hit on them a lot.
It’s not dramatic.
They have to get knocked all the way down so they can fight their way back up again. That never happens in SuperMe scripts. A sympathetic protag is sympathetic because they have to struggle.
These scripts are self-fanfic. Would you enjoy a fanfic a pharmaceutical sales rep wrote about being at a pool party surrounded by movie stars hitting on them?
I’m guessing no.
