Drilling the hole near center of the diagonal bracing is the easy part, fishing the wire through will cause you to learn how to cuss properly. May I suggest you take a 2.5" hole saw and drill through the plaster right where the bracing is and use a spade bid to cut out a small flat hole to fish the Romex through. This way, you can actual see where the wire is coming through and guild it through the hole or flat spot you created with the spade bit. Install nail plate, cover hole with mesh and plaster if you want to go purist route. I like Fix-All for stuff like this. Or cut out a piece of drywall with the same holesaw and screw in place, patch with Fix All.
