Reading Notes: Tiny Tales from the Ramayana Part B

 -When writing stories with many characters within the same universe, be sure to keep track of the overall plot if there's multiple stories happening at the same time, i.e. Lakshmana killing someone that happened to be related to Ravana and was planning to kill Indra

-Add correlations between elements of the story and real life objects or concepts, like how Sita-fruit and Rama-fruit grow in India in the present day

-Sometimes leave things up the imagination of the reader, other times use good graphics to illustrate full scope of a scene, like Hanuman leaping for the sun

One of my favorite franchises is the Star Wars universe, and watching season 2 of the Mandalorian was a blast. I'm not the biggest fan of the recent Disney trilogy, but the extended universe definitely makes up for all its shortcomings. Last semester

Night City is a place where anyone who needs anything can get it anywhere at anytime. That is, if they have the right resources. Every day, guns are hired to get jobs done, whether it be simple hit jobs, complex robberies, or just sending messages to the competition in the area. But in this line of work, this means high risk high reward jobs that stray from the norm pay the most. In doing so, this requires high stress relief. But where can mercenaries all go after hours to relax and kickback, enjoying a drink or two before their next gig? Cue the Afterlife. Known as one of the most prestigious clubs in Night City, one could only gain access by having a reputation behind their name, as the club only served to the hottest mercs in the city.
