Help me clear my head please.
I'm going to make some general substitutions to get my situation across:
Say my protag is a struggling actor. He's also a total screw up. This doesn't help his acting career and results in him owing money all over town. When he must cough up the money quickly, and having just blown his most recent acting opportunity, he takes an unusual job to get the cash.
Now...this unusual job utilizes his acting skills. And he'll have opportunities to explore his acting goals throughout the story. But his reason for taking the job is to earn money to pay off debts before his legs get broken.
So is this too passive? Does this protag need to aggressively pursue something? Should this unusual job itself be the key to his acting goal?
