EXERCISE: If you knew a secret ...

Original posting 17 April 2009

There's a web advertisement that caught my eye the other day. It's for the Philippines, but it starts out with this question:
"If you discovered a land with seven thousand one hundred secrets, would you still keep it a secret?"
Timbuktu, Shangri-La, all those lost lands... if you discover a place with secrets, what do you do with the secret?

Someplace that others don't know about? What do you do with it?

Go ahead and let that rattle around in your brain. Then consider what your character does with it.
And write.
