All Comments on 'A Starring Role'

The professional careers, other than that of Mother, mentioned in the story caught me by surprise. That is a good thing in my mind.

This is truly an excellent piece.

Another fine story..thanx

that the 70's porn stud

I'd really like more here. Very good story

For a story only 3 pages it had some true depth and captivated me. A wonderful romance.

This story has been rattling around in my memory and I just had to re-read it to see if it was as cleverly put together as I remembered it. That put it under a demanding microscope, and it turns out that it's even better than I recalled. Thank you for sharing a story that is satisfying in so many different ways. Truly worth every one of my five stars.

Another great story by CM. This story reminded me of listening to the bullshit my gold digging mother would say to my sisters growing up. They failed her miserably. LOL!!! I am surprised George Clooney wasn't mentioned in this story and had a good laugh at someone mentioning the kid having the name of a 70's porn star. 5***

Cromagnon, I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you. At these scurrilous liables and slanders against the magical world of Hollywood. And all the wonderful, kindly, pious people who work in the entertainment industry to gift all us drooling cretins of the unwashed masses with our celebrity fixes.

That being said. if you are writing like an american: it is"the university" or "the hospital"! you Aussies and Brits always get that wrong when writing American! Mentioning rugby shoots you in the foot too. Strangely I played it in high school, but that's not normal. Still really enjoyed the story.

ven when they seem somewhat - umm mechanical or sterile?? - you keep the heart and emotion IN the story while your perspective seems to be almost removed. The narrators often "sound" detached when we know they are not -

It is a fascinating writing style - if it is deliberate kudos - if it is accidental - well cool - LOL. It does lend to occasionally leaving the reader wondering about the narrators motives.
