Big problem, small solution

In an interview I show my class, screenwriter James Brooks talks about struggling with Terms of Endearment. He was lost after 90 pages and couldn't find his way out for weeks. Then he thought of "the slightest change" -- and everything fell into place.

I think my second act entry-struggles are going the same way. I thought of a tweak in the back story and this new line of thinking has shown me the way in, I think. I'll work on it today.
