How do I find the right combination of plot ideas?
I don't know the exact saying, but I think it's something about how all stories are used, just with different characters and settings. I don't know all the combinations, but I really want to look for some that really stands out. Sometimes I don't know what the "plot" is called, especially if I like it. How can I find more about plots? (I'm looking for unique ones [I also know plots can't be too wacky or least relatable, otherwise the viewer won't understand it], but iconic ones are cool too. I don't know how to make it unique and cool. I know plots are vague and authors tune it to their own (example: overcoming the monster can be emotion or literal), but I have characters and I don't even know my plot!

How do I start?
I started writing this book in eighth grade for fun, and I forgot about it for a while. Then, when I decided I might try becoming a writer, I told my friends about this short story, and my friends told me to finish it. They are very encouraging, but I don't know what to do. And even if I did finish it, how would I be able to publish it? The theme of my story is Fantasy, and I'm currently on page 10 of this book.
ConroeHow do I get published internationally as a minor?
I'm 14 and working on a few stories and want to get them published one day (under a pseudonym). I live in the Philippines and doubt that it would get much attention here, but I think it could sell more in countries like the US or mainly-English-speaking countries in general. Should I self-publish? Look for an agent? Go to publishers? How do I market my stories?
