My dd is also in 6th. She likes writing and considers it a career option. She actually welcomes our feedback when she is working on school writing assignments, but the amount of writing she is asked to do is not great. She is a good writer - she recently won a grade level award in a statewide writing competition.

So, now that the school year is winding down, we *just* signed her up for an online NUMATS course on writing graphic novels to do over the summer. Has anyone else tried online writing classes? I'd be interested to hear what you think.
