Resources for learning how to craft plots

The main problem for someone moving from non-fiction to fiction is the development of a plot. It is especially frustrating to someone who already knows how to string words together and "write well", who can express himself in the medium, to be unable to write a story.

I found a book 20 Master Plots by Ronald B. Tobias, that covers very general large-scale structures. But is there anything like lists of detailed facets that can be perused? For example, a survey of plots concerning an abduction: what are the different reasons and motivations that have been used in successful stories?
