Projects of a Different Sort

Remember how I said Icarus was going on the back burner for a while? Well, I still can't tell all the details about the massive project mostly responsible for the delay. Sorry. However, I've been asked to turn the back to basics grammar and composition course and the creative writing course into full workbooks for a local school.

Considering I've yet to finish writing the back to basics course and need to add lots of exercises, more in depth information, and additional articles to the creative writing workbook, you can imagine how much work this is. That's on its own without this other, larger, project I can't speak about at the moment. So I just plain don't have time to work on drafting Icarus right now, and I won't until these workbooks are finished and off to the printers.

That said, I have a couple of questions for you, dear reader.

1. If you were a student who would potentially be using these workbooks in years to come, what topics would you like to see explained in plain English? This can be for the grammar/comp workbook, the creative writing workbook, or both. What confuses you about what you've learned so far, and what do you feel the usual textbooks don't cover well?

2. Would you like these textbooks to be available to the public? I mean, they are based around the courses I've been publishing here for you to read for free, but the workbooks will contain additional material on the subjects involved as well as exercises, graphic organizers, review questions, and quizzes.
