: Re: I can't figure out to come up with a good plot! The one major problem I feel that I have as a writer is coming up with a plot that has any substance at all. I can write believable characters

Not necessarily techniques, but here are some resources you can check out to get you started:

Outlining your Novel by K.M. Weiland is a great book for rookies new to the game and veterans in need of a refresher. The process may seem mechanical at first, but at the very least you'll be able to create a guideline (if not a detailed map) to where you want your story to go. It also comes with a workbook which you can use as a supplement to the reading.

I would check out Cathy Yardley's Rock Your Plot. This is a very straightforward guide that takes you step-by-step through common plot points. She also includes some very insightful examples with thoughtful exercises, so you can put what you learn into practice.
