Is that a FAQ?
Why  are you giving this great course away for free? 

To be honest, I saw lessons being taught in schools that created bad writing but were easy to teach.  Two reasons: One, Simplicity. A core of simple concepts done correctly makes it easier for students to become better writers with less work for teachers. Secondly: Most teachers do not have the time to create a program like this with fun characters interacting with each other, stories that teach writing concepts and is easy for them to use in the classroom. 

How long does it take to complete the course?

That depends.  Some lessons and exercises are more time intensive than others, but no exercise should take longer than 45 minutes. Some lessons may be repeated using different examples to allow students the chance to practice their skills, but overall it should take between 15 and 20 hours to complete the course.

Are there other Scary Good Writing™ Courses available?

Programs are currently in development.
