(Inspiration 3.13) Experimenting with Conflict-driven Plot

I continue to develop episodes about the McGhee family, but still I have yet to determine a clear plot for my novel.  So, in my notebook, I've started a list for each main character.  The list begins with Jayme McGhee, and I've developed a mini-plot outline for her including the major conclicts in her life that will move her plot thread throughout the book.  Two questions I asked myself are these: Ultimately, what are Jayme's problems and what will she accomplish by the end of the novel?  After developing this rough sketches of plot threads for each major character, I will try my best to weave them together.  Hopefully, the final product will be a unified, seamless novel with a successful plot.
