You had questions about fixing character problems. We had had answers! Here are the questions:

* How do you fix character voices when you find out that two of them are too similar?
* How can you tell if a character is, in fact, the problem?
* How do you maintain interest in a character who is largely inactive?
* How do you write interesting bad guys when your only POV characters are the good guys?
* How do you give meaningful challenges to a powerful character?
* How can you make a normal, everyday character interesting?
* How do you edit an existing manuscript to give characters interests which mesh with the plot?
