--Does your most recent POV character make snap judgements or take time to consider?

Clark HAS to make snap judgments all the time in his line of work. He does spend a lot of time going back over them later, checking to see if he could have done anything differently, but in the field, he has no choice but to make some very fast, very life-or-death decisions. It's definitely a challenge to write and part of what I love about the character!

I hope your writing is going well! Are you having to make any snap judgments?

Smallville Lex is very much a thinker, though he isn't above a snap judgment now and then. I'd say that's pretty much the same for all his different versions, but SV Lex in particular. As a scientist, he likes to be methodical.

No snap judgments for me at present, and the writing is going well. Original writing has taken over but that's fine since I have a long fanfic queue, anyway. :)

Both of my current POV characters are commanders and have to think on their feet in the field and they make most of the life-and-death decisions in seconds, but both of them actually always have Plan A,B,C... etc thought out already, so often even the sudden decisions are something they at least thought was a possibility. There are the moments where they take each other off guard though and really have to change plans as they go...

Haha, MORE snap judgments than I like. I've been behind with deadlines and there's not as much time planning things out as there's usually. :P
