I find that my stories suffer from lack of characters. Many stories I am
working on only have a few characters. Never had one with onbly one though,
but most have limited outside contact as a factor in the story. All the
conflict comes from within the character...personal realizations, etc...
and Man/Woman vs. Nature...or versus his/her circumstances.
