I would think there are lots of stories, but only three plots. Man vs man, man vs nature, and man vs himself. What is the other one?

Actually, Robert Heinlein said there were only three stories: boy meets girl, the little tailor (i.e. the little man who does something big), and the man who learned better. I found that most of my published stores were in the third category. The novel I'm currently working on turned out to be in that category, too.
