I feel like I know how to write plot.

You don't idea your way into a plot but plot your way into an idea.

I have a plot, but not much happens.

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

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

I'm one of the lucky writers: plots come easily to me.

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.

So I work hard to present the human side of my characters while not neglecting the plot.
