The Writings of an Illiterate Man Vol. 2

I think I am pretty happy with my progress so far. I have a few points to make up, but that is easily doable with extra credit. i don't really stick to a routine, but that is mostly due to my other classes demanding a good amount of time.

In all honesty, I didn't really like the Mahabharata. I just didn't feel any connection with any of the stories.  Reading notes kind of help with the writings. I mostly only use them as a short summary. They don't help at all with the actual writing since I already have a good feeling of how I want the story to play out when I start. But they do help me organize thoughts a little bit when I am planning. I am pretty happy with how my storybook is going so far. Unfortunately I haven't been able to put a lot of time into the first drafts of both the intro and the first story, meaning th...
