The Biography Maker
Just what is a biography?
The story of someone's life?
A tale of accomplishment?
A tale of woe?
Or is it a boring list of facts
that nobody cares about?
A good biography brings

makes us care
about what she or he did
with time and opportunity.
Who wants to read
another boring biography?
Who wants to write one?
Certainly not you!
