Is it the story or the charcter you don't like with Grady. I like Hero. I just wish I could remember my character's name. She's not named after anyone, so that doesn't help and it's an odd name which helps even less. Kylea or Kalea or something like that (vaguely recalling a little bit of her name, so I think it's something along those lines).

You're a fellow writer, huh? Do you have a favorite genre? Looking at what I've written over the years, I appear to favor fantasy over everything else, though it's certainly not the only genre I've written in.

Yeah, I get that I about stories I've failed to complete. I recently (couple years ago) was working on a family tree for a character in the series I am currently working on and decided I was just going to name the character's grandparents after a couple in another series I'm working on that is less likely to be completed.

For the siblings in Rules of Engagement I actually went a totally different route. Areena (MC) was named after my great-great-great-grandmother and William (brother), Desdi (party sister, short for Desdamona), Frances (bookish sister), Susan Anne (cousin), and Elizabeth (aunt) were named after Areena's siblings. I'm missing a couple although the only one that comes to mind is Stuart (second from youngest, Susan Anne being the youngest). I named the love interests other things. Pretty sure one of them got his name from a character in my favorite book series as a girl. Not sue about the other two. The ex got his name from a guy I knew when I was much younger, not, I might add, a guy I had any problems with, but I like his name for a villainesque character, so I used it.
