New Fiction: Monsanto Ted Talk Plan | Visual Verse

Posted on by A.E. Weisgerber

Visual Verse provides a neat opportunity to respond to an image in 50-500 words, asking only that you spend less than one hour on your response. I am pleased they chose to publish this, a restricted story, told in only verbs, as a companion to Grant Wood’s iconic painting, American Gothic.

Thanks go out to Christopher Dewan, who is a great workshop leader, for providing a prompt that asked for just such a restriction. Fun and challenging way to tell a story. :o)

Here’s a link to my all-verb micro story, “Monsanto Ted Talk Plan.”

Thank you for reading!
