My problem is I'm a great SCENE writer.  I can come up with great moments
in a story, but overriding plots are very hard.  That's why I'm trying to
write a long story right now, I'm hoping with some practice I can do it.

I feel for you, man.  I have the exact same problem.  I can come up with
amazing ideas, even long-term plots occasionally, but can't put them down
on paper (or disk, as the case may be).  I even have a 10 novel series
bouncing around in my head that I created starting when I was 12!  The
problem is, I don't remember most of it, and much of it wasn't internally
consistant.  The best I've found I can do is not more than a page at a
time of writing, but that writing is _good_ (if i'm allowed to say that
about myself.  I'll include an example at the end of this letter.  
IAC, the point of all this is that you're not alone in this.

     "And as the Spacewarp streaks silently through the cold darkness of
deep space, its black metal glinting in the light of passing stars, you
can almost hear the cries of dying worlds left in ruin, of countless beings
laid to waste, of countless lives trampled underfoot.  And of all I have
done, of all I have commanded, of all I have conquered, nothing has satisfied
me as much as the personal breaking of a single spirit by my own hand."
