Step 44: Take a Class

Wha??? Take a class? After spending 16+ years in the school system? I know, it sounds crazy, but there are benefits to continuing your education.

Now, I'm not saying you have to take a whole semester long class at some fancy university. The class I'm taking meets every Tuesday for four weeks and is offered by the Indiana Writers Center. It's all about how to write young adult novels, so it's helping me hone my skills, which is the most important reason to take any class. Also, I'm meeting a lot of people who have similar interests to me, and I'm being taught by a local author, so I'm making some great contacts.

And, surprisingly, it's fun to be back in the classroom. :) Probably because this is a class I actually want to be taking instead of something I was forced to, but also because it's fun to learn something new and try it out later on your own.

So, my question to you: If you could take a class over anything, what would it be?
And my challenge to you: Sign up for a class. Find an organization that you're interested in and see if they offer anything. Even your local library can have some interesting classes. Mine once offered a class over searching your family lineage!
