SIMPLE SCENES: Write your life story by asking and answering questions about yourself

This is a Power Point program that managers can show their employees. Newspapers and online magazines can show their editors. Administrators can show their teachers and editors.

This course's writer -- Rix Quinn -- is a former magazine editor who now writes a national weekly humor column for over 230 newspapers, But he's spent most of his working life writing short biographies about business leaders and product inventors.

Quinn believes that almost anybody can write their life stories. But few do that, because the idea seems overwhelming. So, Quinn says everyone should just write a series of unrelated short "scenes" -- sort of like segments of a stage play. Later, those scenes can be combined to produce a memoir.

That memoir can be used to build a resume', a job cover letter, a speech or speech introduction, a company history...or much, much more.
