Suggestions for Creative Writing curriculum

Some materials I have been using for teaching creative writing to my DD who is an aspiring novelist:

 

-NaNoWriMo middle school workbook (FREE)

-Adventures in Fantasy (awesome resource but doesn't contain lesson plans).

-The Plot Whisperer. I haven't seen the companion workbook but I'm seriously considering getting it for my DD.

 

Not creative writing per se, but very helpful in improving my DD's sentence structure & variety has been the Killgallon series.

My son is going to do NaNoWriMo this year. But, he has also been using Creative Writer from Peace Hill Press. I am have been very impressed with this book and think it would challenge most people. Creative Writer 2 is going on sale this coming week too. It is intended to be a once a week program but has helped to fill my son's desire to do creative writing.

We also used The Creative Writer over the summer. Good price and it's non-consumable!

 

Are you referring to this? http://www.amazon.com/The-Creative-Writer-Finger-Exercises/dp/1933339551

 

I am curious... :bigear: DD loves to creative writing and has done NanoWriMo twice now, but we haven't done anything else, but now you all have my interest! :D

This forum is so bad for my budget. I need another writing curriculum on my shelf like I need a hole in my head, but this is really tempting. :tongue_smilie: I really liked the poetry section of CW1.
