(I've adapted my first answer after rereading your original post) There is something wrong in the first sentence. Or it's a question without the question mark, or it's an imperative but then the 'je' shouldn't be there. It is not an easy sentence and comes with a relative clause. Your first alternative is possible but less natural and harder to read. Your last alternative makes more sense to me and solves the problem that I mentioned earlier, but it leaves out the bit about writing a story. So it all depends on the original intention or the context.
