Same here. Aristotle put plot before all other elements, but I disagree. Plot is sometimes totally immaterial to me in the same way that when I am talking with friends, I don't need cohesive storylines. I prefer to enjoy them and their word choices and tics. Character is numero uno for me, in just about anything.

In fact, I just had a thought that maybe all the authors I dislike are lacking in the character department. I must analyze this.

At least you care, that's the main thing.

Woah...the amount of edginess, hipsterness, and pretentiousness in this post impresses me.

Kudos good sir, kudos.

I believe that just to think of your own writing as a "collection of things"(plot, prose, each made of even smaller pieces) is already unhealthy to what comes out.

The form and the content, the plot, the prose, the characters, the media chosen, how you say it, what you say, why you say, the idea, the thoughts, the emotion. It's all combined, it's all one thing at once. If you don't have one or don't pay attention to one, is not that it's missing, it's just another thing entirely. Stop separating that shit.

Hey listen, just because the art of writing is too complicated for you, doesn't mean it's too complicated for those who have mastered it years ago.

it's much harder to do a non-narrative in film, you end up doing brakhage things and filming music. they're different mediums with different strengths. not that narrative is the heart of film, but film uses it better than literature can.
