Story Planning: Letters from Krishna

I decided to try a Story Planning post this week. I usually jump right into writing, but I decided to slow myself down this week and see if it helps me come up with something better. I'm wanting to explore new styles, so hopefully this helps!

Possible Scenes to Use:

• Krishna Comes - An Introduction: Here we learn about all the enemies that Krishna had. I thought it would be fun to create a story with completely different characters, but going through a similar situation. I thought about a girl moving to a new high school, with a gang of "mean girls" that already didn't like her for some reason (which I would need to come up with).
• Krishna Episode 2 - Vasudev Meets Yamuna: In this scene, Vasudev escapes with baby Krishna to protect him. It would be interesting to write a first-person scenario from Vasudev's point of view. He was in danger and was also probably so sad to be leaving his baby with someone else.
• Krishna Episode 3 - Durga Speaks to Kamsa: Kamsa hears of the birth of the 8th child and laughs when he finds out its a girl (it's not really, they were switched....but, you know). The girls ends up making a fool out of Kamsa and I would love to be able to make an empowering story out of this.
• Krishna Episode 12 - Krishna rides Hastin: Krishna rides the bull instead of killing it, teaching everyone a lesson of kindness. I would love to incorporate this theme into a story somehow
• Krishna Episode 13 - The Saviour of Dharma: Krishna learns about his destiny and all that this will require of him. A very emotional scene.
• Krishna Episode 14 - Akrur Invites Krishna: Krishna appears to be fearless about facing his destiny. But what would happen if he was secretly more afraid than he lead on?

Possible New Styles:

• Letter writing: this is a style I haven't tried yet, but want to. I have seen other people do it in their stories and they are always fun to read!
• Journal entry: similar to the letter, but more personal. This would be good for Episode 13 or 14!
• Script: lots of dialogue and an opportunity to explicitly state what emotions the characters are supposed to be feeling

Goals:

• Try something new
• Make it fun to read
• Create a story with good flow
• Start strong and finish strong the first time (not just after editing)

(I am leaning toward the idea of a letter or journal entry from Krishna!)
