Thanks! It seems like the kind of thing that should work for me -- my brain is more interested in characters than plots. :-) And along those lines, I just found this insight from a Writing Excuses podcast, which I noted down for the same stuck WIP and will include here on the off-chance it's helpful:
You can't have a sense of progress without having a goal. "Progress" = the character's perception of progress. :-)
