What's in a (Blog) Name?

So, yep, I changed the name of my blog.

(Does anyone know the reference?)

Okay, that *points right* is a hint.

I have reasons I need to change it, but I don't know if this one will stay. I need to see if I get used to it, if it resonates with me at all.

So why did I change it? For one thing, that other title, while true, was too long. To remember, to say, and for other people to post links to (nothing like hogging up three lines on someone else's blog...). For another, other than containing the word gravity, it had nothing to do with anything. Ok, neither does this one, really, although this one, like that one, does have something to do with a key story point in my debut YA novel, The Pull of Gravity. Even if, in this instance, only I know it.

So, here it is. This wee bit heap. What do you think?

    thanks allison. the fish have been there since Day One. I know the woman designing my new website (who is going to make my blog match) is going to tell me to take them away, but I dont have the heart to do so. I've drawn the line at allowing myself to name them. They're happy here just swimming and doing their thing. :)

    I'd like it better if you'd let me read the book. ;)

    i meant more particularly than that, megan. the exact location of "That wee bit heap." It doesn't appear in my book.

    oh, yay, Kelsey. Coming from you that means the most, since you ARE my audience. :) Thanks. I'm considering it THE stamp of approval.

    nope, not here. I mean, I'd love you to be an inadvertant audience, but this is my YA blog and Kelsey is a teen. AND she runs an awesome book review blog called The Book Scout. She ROX. :)
