Writer's Block

I wrote to the Alaskan Writer's group:

I've finally found a main character, a psychiatrist. I chose a name for him, and whaddya know, it turns out to be the name of an administrator at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital!

I've never written fiction before. I don't even read much fiction.

I'd like to get out all the stuff that is bogging down my thinking. So I'm going to have my patients go to the psychiatrist and unload. ;)

From what I know about basic plots, you need a main character, the protagonist. (Why he has to have such a weird name is beyond me. What's wrong with calling him the main character?) Then you need the antagonist. This is the character that is in opposition to the protaganist. It sounds like two guys fighting over something. The something is the plot.

Your plot needs a beginning, middle, and end. The beginning introduces your characters and describes the setting. Some sources recommend that you know the end before you start. The middle is the story, the fighting. Then the end is the resolution of the fight.

None of this fits with my idea. So I'm left wondering if I'm really writing a notel or not. Then again, the goal is quantity. So I'm not going to sweat it.
