Sparing you a blog post, My book had been sitting at page 59 for a while because I couldn't make a decision as to how a character would react in a given situation. I was thinking it would be some mix of bliss and panic but I wasn't sure how to actually decide.
I was going to do the two columned pros and cons list but I was having trouble doing that so instead I opted to make it like a coordinate plane, drew a big plus shape on my dry erase board and scribbled a quick note as to what the extremes of each of the four outcomes would look like. it became apparent that some of the four weren't what I had hoped them to be, so I crossed them off quickly making a decision that I had been mulling over for weeks.
I hope this proves useful.
EXAMPLE:
Ellie is a young lass on her way home from the market with a basket full of ingredients, but as she reaches the bridge a troll jumps out and blocks her path. how does she respond?
so my knee jerk response as to the two facets are "Wonder" and "hostility" and so the graph would look like this where hostility the hoizontal:
but yeah, tell me about your decision making processes for all life's questions?

"what... Are you?" | "Get back! what are you some kind of monster?" |
"I really must get going, excuse me" | Ellie screams and runs away |
