I feel like I know how to write plot.

I'm very good at plot.

I'm really quite bad at coming up with plot ideas. I like to create characters and just see what will happen to them when I let them loose!

Plotting is difficult for me, and always has been. I do that before I actually start writing, but I always do characters, and the arc of the story, first... You can't do anything without a story arc. Where is it going to begin, where will it end.

I really don't care about plot. I really, really don't.

It's amazing how far you can get into a plot before you figure out what you're doing.

Use plot to buttress a story.

In order to have a plot, you have to have a conflict, something bad has to happen.

I always struggle with making the technical aspects of the plot fit with the story that's unfolding in my imagination.
