Thank you!

Ah, well, her violin is an important part of her life, so I'm glad that was able to come through. Writing her relationships with Manfried and her violin are the aspects of the story that require the most care (and the most anxiety-inducing, because fretting is like a second job). Excellent! I wanted to be able to establish the most important parts of Aviva and her life during the war, and I felt that was the best, most effective way to do it (as after that comes the opening credits sequence and then the story begins in 1945).

I am just really happy that I can manage to get all of this out of my head and onto the computer screen.
