It's not so much that I'm keeping it secret as much as I tend to be a private person and most people don't have the first clue what I'm up to.
Lately, I've been trying to be better about that when it comes to writing. If my end goal is publication then I can't very well refuse to tell anyone about it. Not if I plan on selling any books. The people that I personally know are my best word-of-mouth support system when (I refuse to say if) I finally do get published.
Here are some of the classes offered:
How to Pace Your Novel
Conflict and Mechanism of Story
How to Become an Idea Factory
Using Dialogue to Reveal Character
How to Launch Your Book
How to Open Your Book with a Bang
Habits of Successful Writers
Worldbuilding
Using Resonance to Attract Readers
Writing a Killer Query.
That's only a small portion of the classes available. About every hour, for two days, there is a new class to attend. And for each hour there are between 7-10 to choose from. Overwhelming, but fun!
No matter which classes I end up taking, I'm sure I'll learn a lot. And hopefully do some networking. I'm not very good at that meeting new people thing, but I'm going to do my best to attempt to put myself out there. At some point I'm going to need to vacate the closet, as nice and warm and full of great shoes and handbags as it is.

lol go you. You can bring the shoes and handbags just make sure you have a manuscript too. In the end you'll love it. You won't be able to help yourself because you enjoy learning and if in the end, you network too, all the better!
