Blindness

 


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:
