Sorry for the extended break.  I had meant to take a little bit of a break through a particularly busy time, but it ended up being a little longer than I had anticipated.

One of my projects during this break, however, is to continue to work on a book idea that I have had for the past several months.  My idea is to write a book about association membership based on the following principles:

• I want the book to be short, simple, and interesting to read, even for people who don’t care in the least about parliamentary procedure as such.
• I want the book to benefit walk association members step-by-step through the process of joining, participating in, and improving their own associations—the idea here is that the book would be relevant to the average member’s experience in the order that the average member experiences association life.
• I want the book to teach people about parliamentary procedure, but only insofar as parliamentary procedure touches the average member.

I have enjoyed working on this, but, as you can probably imagine, this is a long process, and I could use some help.  I would greatly appreciate any feedback I could get on my progress so far, either in a comment or by contacting me.

Thanks in advance, and enjoy!
