How to do this and not get in trouble!

I'm going through a how to book on writing that I really love.

I want to work through it in real time on my blog. However I'm not sure how to go about it since it has a lot of questions that it asks you to help you narrow down what type of writer you are and what type of ideas to come up with etc.

Sure I can post my answers on my blog.. but.. if the readers don't know what question I'm answering.. the answers wont really make sense. So I want to type in the question as well but that is kind of the whole meat and potatoes of the book and I want people to buy the book not just get it off my blog.. and no I didn't write the book, I just don't want to get in trouble with the author..

maybe I should try the contact the author and just ask..

you have not because you ask not, yes?

how should I go about this?

that is a good idea.. I did leave an email to the author.. waiting to see what happens with that!

I did contact her and she replied thanking me for at least asking. In a word, "no". She did tell me to summarize from a first person POV. For example:

"Today's blog post will be about developing ideas for a story" and then my process in how I went about it indirectly.

I have for now decided to drop it since I realize that I'm way to much a beginner and the book I don't believe was designed for a beginner, these are my own feelings and not sure if that is what the author intended or not. I have a lot to learn about the craft before I get to something like that.
