I've never taken a creative writing class where I was "taught" how to write. You can't teach writing, but creative writers are some of the best people to run and facilitate critique sessions, which is what a creative writing class should be. It should be about telling fellow writers what worked and what didn't and to give ideas for novels and short stories to read to grow their knowledge of writing.

I recognize King's great talent, but his writing is too dark for me.

I get what he's saying,he's saying you can teach the structure of writing,but teaching people how to be creative,you can't.They either are creative or not,and whether people like it or not,is up to them,you might have to teach,

I don't get how people can find any book "scary", a story in print is not scary no matter what.

If you watch the Stephen King 13 minute interview, you'll see that he wears a medal of Mary holding up her hands as if saying that she accepts him for who he is. Also he says that he does believe in our God (I'm a Christian as well), and (this is in another interview) if he didn't have God or the medal he wouldn't be able to keep sane. Writing is just a venting thing for him; to get rid of his fears. One of his quotes is: "We create our own fears to help us cope with the real ones."
