WRITING WORKSHOP
This is from a writing workshop led by Ryan Iverson.
The instructions were to write a short story (300-400 words) based on one of three images provided. I chose the image below of an old man picking carrots.
After sharing our stories, Ryan asked us to trim them down to 3 sentences, then 3 words (headline), and then one hashtag.
The workshop was a crash-course on how to boil a story down to its core message.
The following was all done in one afternoon and is unedited:

Second version (3 sentences):
Third version (3 words):
Fourth version (1 hashtag):
