The Next Thing

I have already started working. For this story--I intend it to be a short story--I will be outlining more, planning more. I want to know who the people are who have arrived on my frozen little world, and why. More importantly, I want to discover from this information what sort of conflict they will experience, and whether it will be of their own making or caused by something else. Anyway, while this completed novel cools, I find myself inspired to keep writing, in the vague hope that practice makes , if not perfect, then better.
