Unfortunately (or fortunately in some ways, but unfortunately as regards your kind invitation), I'm really deep into editing my bloody ****ing novel just now. However, if I need a break, I shall certainly bare these in mind. :-) Jess, over at <a href="http://earsmind.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Ear's Mind</a> has taught creative writing and writes some very interesting posts about aspects of writing, as well as her own efforts in response to exercises she's read about.
