Just thinking out loud too? :)
I know talking about it can help, will comments be welcome, or would you
rather not have replies?

The obvious thing would be to look at it through one of the friends she
meets.
Finding a new viewpoint, even when I know where, was/is one of my
problems in the bit I got stuck, too, but the bigger problem is 'what',
though I got some spark there now, just need to find out a specific

those ramblings though.
Good luck with finding the right approach. :)
