Figuring out an outline

I've never really had an outline to work off of before and this year I've decided to try and make one. I just don't have a plot. I've looked at the snowflake method and Zette's 'It's just a Phase' article but nothing is going to help if I don't get a plot. I guess that should be my first priority instead of outlining.

I did a short challenge that they had on the nano forums. Just five minutes of writing and I only got 160 words so it wasn't a big deal. I need to start doing that more often because it's going to be a pain in the butt to have to pick up my speed during November. I'd like to be up to my full game at the beginning instead of taking half the month to teach myself not to type the wrong words. Holding myself accountable will be a big part of these next six weeks. I want to get into these habbits now, not when it's to late to figure out why they went wrong.
