Simple Scenes: How to Write Your Memoir Like a Stage Play is a transformative guide that teaches you how to turn the most powerful moments of your life into compelling, easy-to-write stories. Author Rix Quinn, a veteran journalist and biographer, introduces a creative method that blends memoir writing with the structure of flash fiction and the drama of a stage play. Instead of tackling your entire life story at once, Quinn shows you how to break it down into short, vivid episodes that are emotionally engaging and dramatically structured - each under 500 words. With over 35 years of experience in writing, editing, and teaching, he offers practical strategies to help you find your voice, craft strong openings, create lasting impact, and overcome writer's block. Whether you're just beginning to write or looking for a fresh approach to personal storytelling, this book delivers the tools and inspiration to turn memory into narrative and experiences into unforgettable scenes. Ideal for writers of memoir, creative nonfiction, or short stories, Simple Scenes will help you capture the essence of your life one meaningful moment at a time.
