Wahoo! Thanks for all the wise counsel, guys, I am grateful. Cbenoi and Kallithrix, I think you've nailed it. My character must indeed try doing things the old way, banging her head against the same old wall, until a reflecting scene later on when she 'gets' it, and tries something new.
I'm glad you all enjoyed the thread. Thanks again.
