I am looking into writing programs for my kids and possibly for myself to learn along with them.  The first one I've researched is the "One Year Adventure Novel" writing curriculum by Daniel Schwabauer.  I sent away for the free demo CD and watched it with my boys.  They seemed interested and I thought it might be a good program.  But the price has made me hesitate.  At nearly $200.00, I don't want to jump into this without careful consideration.  So, I thought I'd appeal to my blog friends and see if you've done any specific writing course, program or curriculum.  What has worked for you and what didn't?  Any opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
