This is an interesting distinction. If one runs "solely
plot-driven" to its ultimate definition, the plot is all that
runs the book story -- any cardboard cutout character named
John Smith or Jane Smith could be the protagonist, and it
wouldn't matter if he or she was a thief or a beauty salon
operator, because the action would override anything related
to character.

I agree. I'm now thinking that he must use characterization,
and just doesn't think too deeply about complexities or
development. You can really accomplish a lot in a little, if
you're good. But the plot could work without the character
making major choices. I just don't know how to make it
interesting that way. Vicki
