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 also heard about the main 7 (Overcoming the Monster · Rags to Riches · The Quest · Voyage and Return · Comedy · Tragedy · Rebirth), but I don't know how to make it unique and cool. I know the 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.

How can I learn more about creating art and story’s behind my art?
I want to grow to be an Artist because I’ve always been interested in the way animators create shows and how artist create drawing/painting that always had a story behind them. I want to learn more about the human anatomy so I can be better at realism and more about how animators draw in cartoony styles for short stories and funny scenes. I would also like to learn how to get better and writing stories for my characters, I can make short pieces and scenes of a story but I’m not very good at creating a actual narrative/story for them. Thank you and I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
How do I get better at intricate writing?

What job should I get to save up for the career I want?
I'm 13 (a bit young to be thinking about these things, I know, but might as well plan this now!) and live in the Philippines. I want to move to a country with a better film industry one day because I want to write shows and films. My original plan was to do a dual degree for psychology and film, move to Singapore for a while and save up the money to then eventually move to a country with a bigger film industry. However I heard that it could take up to seven years or more to do that, which I don't think will work for me very well. I want to start my career as soon as possible. Hopefully to be in the US or some other country by the time I'm in my late 20. I can't do maths very well, so I think with the time to graduate and the time to save up to move, I would be in my early thirties by the time I get to start my career in film. Are there any other alternatives? What would be the best job for me to pursue before I start the career I want? I heard becoming an electrician doesn't take long and pays okay. Should I stick with my current plan? I also want enough time to work on side projects. (Apologies if this isn't very coherent. I am rather tired today!)

How should I decide on an MFA program for Writing?
I see a lot of programs and I'm overwhelmed by which factors I should consider. Preferably, I would like a high-residency program that wouldn't require me to go into debt or expects me to pay too much out of pocket. My strongest medium is poetry, but I also like to write in prose.
