The week 12 story lab I chose to write about was the “5 Storytelling Software Options for Busy Writers.” I thought this would possibly be helpful to me because I am often very busy, so maybe some of the software would be found useful to me. The five different Softwares consisted of Scrivener, Aeon Timeline, Story Mill, Storyist, and The Novel Factory. The 3 that would seem to be most helpful to me was the StoryMill, Storyist and the Novel Factory. With Story mill you can keep track of how many times you use a word. You can also set a daily writing goal that needs to be reached. I believe this would benefit me because often times I do not write every day, and when I do, I tend to repeat words, so this software would help me diversify my vocabulary. The Storyist helps the writer track the plot, characters, settings and helps keep the writing organized so that the writer can focus on telling the story.

The story I chose to do reading notes over was the Birth of Dasaratha’s Sons from the divine archer.   In this story four sons are born. They are sons of three different queens that Dasharatha is married to. In this story one of the queens Kaushalya witnesses baby Rama manifest as a cosmic being, and then go back to being a baby. This section will be very hard to write a story over because there is no plot to it, but what I could write about is that one of the kings queens births a special baby that will soon be great, and she witnesses it before her own eyes.

In this story a battle is about to take place between an army commanded by Bheeshma fighting an army protecting Bheema.   Arjuna goes out in between the two armies and looks upon the opposite army. He is taken back and second guesses his god on why they are fighting. Because the uncles, sons, grandfathers that are on the other side are giving up their lives and wealth to Fight. Then the rest of the story he tries to convince the lord Krishna not to fight, And when it comes time to fight he says it would be better if the sons of Dhritaraashtra would kill me with their weapons in battle while I am unarmed, So he goes to the middle of the battle field and sets down his bow   and takes a seat in his chariot over whelmed. What I took from this story was that if violence is the only route out of a situation, you can still be your own person and choose peace instead. This can be made into a possible story for lat...
