@gracie-j. AHAH! I FOUND YOUR WEAKNESS! (JK, LOL. XD XD XD But apparently, I know it now, lol)
I’m so happy you’re so excited! <3 It always makes me feel good to know that someone is excited and that someone actually LOVES Riker like I do. 😉
Once you learn more about him, you are going to love him even more. He’s protective without being overly protective, and oh my gosh, GRACE, WHEN YOU SEE HIM WITH HIS KIDS IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!! AND WHEN HE’S WITH HIS WIFE! WHEN HE’S WITH HIS SISTER, TOO!!!! OOH, AND HIS MAMA!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 (don’t wanna see him with his dad. Dad’s horrible and always has been, and when Riker’s around him he tenses up and becomes very uncomfortable. *cries*) Honestly, playing the Violin was probably, for Riker, a way to escape all the pain he was growing up in. *cries again*

@starshiness. Girl, you have no idea. DX
AND YES, HIM PLAYING THE VIOLIN JUST CAME TO MY HEAD A WHILE AGO, AND I WAS LIKE: THIS IS PERFECT!!!!!! Yes, it’s his form of therapy. I’m also trying to discover who TAUGHT him HOW to play the Violin or if he taught himself…hmm…but either way, I love it and him so, so much! <3
@freedomwriter76 Ooooo that sounds like a really good thought to explore… it would be so cool if the violin became like a symbol or just a meaningful part of the character’s journey, like I’m assuming Riker reaches a point where he does forgive himself but mayyyybe the point where he totally falls apart and comes to the point of turning back to God is when his violin no longer offers him any consolation or escape from the toxic thoughts in his head… I mean Leon has his alcohol for his escape (or attempts at escape); Riker’s could be his violin. But then that might make Leon and Riker too parallel… like they’re doing the same kind of thing… or would that be a good thing?
Ahah sorry, I’m just thinking out loud here XD My goodness, now you’ve got me wondering exactly what is going in your characters’ heads XD I can tell this is gonna be one awesome work of fiction 😉

@starshiness. Thank you! Yes, I love this Novel so much!
Ah yes, *spoiler alert!* Riker DOES forgive himself after *more spoilers* Leon forgives him. AND GIRL, I ABOSLUTELY ADORE THAT IDEA!!!! Riker actually hasn’t played the violin in a long time just because…well, I guess he hasn’t. It brought him comfort, but sometimes it brings back up pain too. So, like, sometimes it’s a bittersweet thing I guess? (And Leon and Riker being a bit parallel would actually be awesome!)
I’m thinking, and I’m just now thinking about this, so don’t get too excited, lol, that the moment when he picks it back up is when *cries* his Mother dies. He searches for comfort in playing the violin again, and it works…for a time. But eventually, it doesn’t anymore. And then…lo and behold, my poor boy hits his lowest point. *cries again* But that’s what it’s going to take. Leon hitting his lowest point is what it takes, and It will be the same for Riker. 😉
@freedomwriter76 NOOOOO HIS MOM DIES TOO 😭😭. OH MY YES AHHH-oh she said not to get too excited… *calms down* *composes self* That sounds just beautiful, can’t wait to hear updates as it comes along!! … *walks away to find a blanket to scream into*…

@starshiness. I’m SO HAPPY YOU’RE SO EXCITED!!!
And yes, I’ve actually had the plan for his Mom dying for a while now, but I was like: “No. I love her. I can’t…I can’t.” But maybe…it’s necessary.
I will most certainly keep you UPDATED! *joins you in finding a blanket, or maybe a pillow*
NOW I FEEL SO BAD FOR MY POOR BOY!!!!!!! *cries* HE’S BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH!!!!

@starshiness. See, for Riker, I have a lot of songs, but I really love the song Family Tree by Matthew West for him. Don’t know if you’ve heard of it, but It REALLY makes me think of Riker. 😭
Then again…a lot of Matthew West songs do, lol. XD But THAT’S OKAY! <3
@freedomwriter76 Aww I know, I hate when I have to do that to my characters. “IT’S FOR THE GREATER GOOD… I PROMISE!!” 😭
I have this strange need for killing off… parents… in my stories… my mom decided to count the number of stories I showed her where the parents die and now she’s just slightly worried XD (MOST ARE HISFIC THO SO IT JUST HAPPENS WITH BATTLES AND RESISTANCE EFFORTS AND SUCH! NOT MY FAULT!!!)
I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.
@freedomwriter76 Hmm I’ve heard quite a bit of Matthew West, but I don’t know that one… I’ll look it up!
😂

@starshiness. YES, FOR THE GREATER GOOD!!!! I still love you Riker. I PROMISE!!!! *cries*
XD that’s great. EXACTLY! It happens so much in Historical Fiction! I don’t kill of ALL of the parents, but…I do kill off quite a few. XD But honestly, it makes the Character stronger in the end. I was telling my sister the biggest thing I love about Riker is that he’s compassionate, generous, sweet, protective, loyal, all those things. And the fact that even in all the pain he went through…he DIDN’T LET IT DESTROY HIS HEART!!!
And I LOVE HIM SO MUCH FOR IT!!! <3 <3 <3 <3
