One of the things I love about reading is the diverse characters we encounter. In each story, the protagonist has a problem/issue to resolve or a mystery to uncover, so the decisions and choices he/she makes determines the chances for success…or not.

In order to find their way, the hero or heroine can either follow a methodical, logical path or wing it and follow their gut. Which is always a blast watching unfold in story, especially when the hero has to work with a heroine who has an opposite approach to problem solving (ie, one goes by-the-book and the other takes the willy-nilly, ‘throw it against the wall to see what sticks’ approach). Boy the sparks that fly! Makes for great entertainment. Hehe.
