Does anyone have insightful advice as to how one could adequately compose an engaging plot or develop a detailed framework to write within? I think I can be too vague in my own plot creation. I find this constricting. When I begin to question where the story is going, it feels like a guiding light going out in the dark in a bog road.

Furthermore, is it better to separate realism and surrealism or is mixing the two possible? I could answer my own question and say that skill can certainly make it so, but I need apt examples.

>Or like stout Cortez, etc., etc.
What other poems convey the same sentiment in different words? It's an important idea but Keats is quoted ad nauseum.

I am beaten down by bouts of sadness, particularly so during these months. I would like some alleviation, derived from literature. Does any anon have a recommendation, so that I may accomplish this desire?

The Overman is coming in the form of singularity. As soon as we develop self-improving AI, we will overcome existence. As soon as it becomes possible, by dint of a strong will, to overthrow the entire past of the world, then, in a single moment, we will join the ranks of independent gods. World history for us will then be nothing but a dreamlike otherworldly being. The curtain falls, and man once more finds himself a child playing with whole worlds—a child, awoken by the first glow of morning, who laughingly wipes the frightful dreams from his brow. I wonder if we will find truth in existence.
