The prompt

I need a short bio for . Here are the facts about me that could go in: . Write three versions in the third person, each under words: one plain, one warm, one a little dry. Use facts, not adjectives about me. If I haven’t called myself passionate, experienced or dedicated, the bio shouldn’t either. It shouldn’t brag and it shouldn’t apologize. Let one specific detail do the work in each version. Use only what I gave you. After the three, tell me which single fact a stranger would remember tomorrow, and which fact I listed that the bio is better without.
