!st off : In regards to a post I tagged onto the thread about the Chantel site plifering stories from here at Lit; apparently Pure has never read my stuff, or he would know that my sense of humor can be a bit oblque at times. This would be in direct opposition to when it can be excrusiatingly biting, naturally.
2nd: How can I change the misleading "virgin" underneath my name to something a bit closer to the truth... like "exceedingly experienced in certain situations"?
3rd; Now for the real reason I'm starting this thread. I'm looking for some informational assisstence from Down Under. For a new project I'm working on, with the moon acting as a time-frame reference in this piece, I need to know the cycles of the moon down Australia way. Actually, a bit farther south than the biggest island on the planet.
What time of the year does the biggest moon hang in the night sky? Here in Idaho, that's in the fall, the harvest moon. Also, what time of the year does the moon linger in the sky into the morning, where it becomes an etching on a blue sky? Here in the northern latitude, that's winter when the days are the shortest.
(And no fair pilfering the above similey, it's mine in this piece I'm presently working on.)
Knowing the seasons (summer, fall, winter, spring? As an aside, can anyone in here recall "who" went by this seasonally poetic name?) for these lunar events would be of great assisstence. Being able to insert the exact months would be even better. I know that our seasons are reversed; when it's winter up here in the north, it's summer down there, and vise versa, but since I tend to be overly obsessive in the minute details of my writing, assuming that the moon would follow the same course is not quite good enough for me.
A history minor in college (criminology major), I'm not comfortable with using provable inaccuracies and hoping my readers won't know the difference. And I really REALLY dislike being called for factual faux pas in my writing.
I could, of course, find this out through some diligent research, but where's the sharing, the "helpfull" give and take between authors in that?
With my career, I rarely know when I'll have the time to go on line and check things of a personal nature (verses work related)out, so any helpfull responces to this query can also be sent to my email addy <jordon_lynn@hotmail.com>
Thanks ahead of time.
