Is fine, to a point, but if you’re an average writer, you’re a terrible protagonist.
Your action will be direct and your conflicts clear when your protagonist is someone completely outside the sphere of how YOU, a writer, would handle the events of the plot.
YOU would do what writers do: observe, reflect, process, interpret. That’s how you get second acts that are 60 pages of deciding what to do.
When you pick a protagonist who DOES first and THINKS second, the momentum will take care of itself. It’s so much easier, and pro tip: it’s fun.
