Default I'm Writing Fiction about the Moon: Some Basic Questions!

Why dont you base your book an a fictional moon which has a fictional planet
it orbits on a fictional orbit in a fictional star system? This will make
you seem like less of a dumbass... like Rand Simberg and Brett Buck
mentioned, do some drawings, its not hard, and work out a possible way that
this moon of yours can obey your 'rules' in the book... Its dangerous doing
a fiction book on a non-fiction stage... you still need to be believable,
so, like I said, make it ALL fictional...


uhh... I don't think such a moon can exist at all - well, not such a moon
which one side always faced the planet, anyways.


Best of luck...

Oh and if you want to be precise about our moon, its lunar month is 27.3
days... but who's counting?
