Okay /lit/, so I've started work on my novel. Been writing it using a target of 1000-words-a-day, minimum. I've got the loose plot details in my head, some characters are starting to appear that are surprising me and I'm starting to knock the rust off my writing.

One problem.

I find myself not liking my main character. I know his motivations and his backstory yet he never seems to *do* much. He reacts to things other people do rather than really engaging in activities himself. He's a blank. A non-person.

What do you guys do when you have a character that isn't really turning out how you'd like? Advice would be appreciated.
