So. Yesterday I was scrolling through my phone contacts and I came across the name below and I had to laugh at myself.
When I first started writing WILFAIR, and I was thinking about character names, I put a few of them in my contacts to test them out and see how they looked against the real names of people I know. Did the character names seem too wacky? Too dull? Or just right?
I keep forgetting that I left "Fair Finley" in my contacts. And whenever I see the name I'm slightly embarrassed and think about deleting it. But then I always leave it. (Coincidentally, Fair's name is right above Farmers Market, which is a real place and is in the books.)
I wonder what Fair's phone number is? She probably lists the main line for The Wilfair and saves her private info for Sutton. Oh, though did she write her digits on the Motel Fairwil call list, too, and someone over at the motel entered her number into his phone.
I realize this won't do much to dispel my somewhat quirky rep. :) Really, I'm very ho-hum, despite the fact that I include fictional characters on my real contact list.
