Bullying

I'm coming to a place in my book where I need to bully the "good guys". I'm having hard time facing that. After dealing with bullying as a kid and then going through my son being bullied for 3 years... I'm having a hard time. BUT, I need to, or else what's the whole point of writing a book about bullying and surviving bullying and winning over bullies?
Give me strength!

Names... What's in a name?

I have enjoyed coming up with names for my middle grade book for boys. I thought I was doing really well. Then I told my daughter a few of the names and she really hated one name. The one name I used to include my son as a character (you know, almost) or to be an homage to him. I will not change my mind on it, but my daughter got sooo mad about it.
I will continue this later....in-laws got here.
