My Verdict
Paint a story is a nice Windows 8 app to know about your own creativity if you are a beginner. This is indeed a good app to try on, but it lacks saving of whatever you have drawn in image format. However, it does provide a solution to this problem. You can copy whatever you drew in the clipboard, and then paste it in any image editing desktop app like MS Pint, Paint.NET, etc., and then save them in whichever image format you want. Overall, this is a worth trying the app.
