Choice • [Variation] • dyn.pr. Delay<–>Choice • making a decision • Choice is simply a decision as to which is the best path toward resolving a problem. A character will ponder all the information and factor in all his feelings and arrive at a decision. Sometimes a character will choose before all the information is in. This can lead him to take steps that may ultimately prove to be counter-productive or even self-destructive. On the other hand, such intuitive leaps can bypass a number of obstacles on the way to a story’s conclusion. Still, “snap judgments often lead to regrets for those whose only exercise is jumping to conclusions.” — Dramatica fortune cookie • syn. decision, selection, determination, pick
