The name of the world I'm writing this summer has changed, for purely pragmatic reasons. I had called it "Orbis" before, but I went to register domain names yesterday (you know, for when my book is popular worldwide) :D, and orbis.com, orbis.net and orbis.org were all taken. So now, after trying different combinations, my world is called "Erthe." erthe.net and erthe.org were available.

I like this name better anyway, because my world is in the same space as Earth, really. You just can't see it. It sorta makes sense that it would have a name similar to "Earth" then, doesn't it? Further, I'm picturing glossy books with the title "Erthe." It just looks better and more intriguing than "Orbis."

Heh, I know I'm getting ahead of myself. It's possible, however, and it never hurts to look ahead. Besides, I wrote almost three entire pages of the thing this morning. :D If I write only six pages a week all summer long, I'll have more than 70 pages at the end of it. That's a good start.

I'm also learning German this summer. I figure if I spend an hour an evening studying German, I'll know something of the language by August. We'll see how it goes.  ¶ 8:15 AM
