All Comments on 'The Farmer and the Actress'

was kind of upset that megan was married so no hope of the threeway friendship but still great story

A little too much saccharine but a very pleasant read.

Thank you for sharing it with us.

D.S.

Outstanding work. I enjoyed all of it. Including the description of the minor characters and small town, rural life in Texas. Your description of "the hall" sounds a lot like a place I knew of in the the B/CS area. Please keep up the amazing writing. And the amazing story telling.

Enjoyed it very much.

Thank you.

Lovely story. Thank you for your submission.

You done real good for a farmer!

And I didn't miss the sex for a minute.

Cheers, Hank

I enjoyed your tale. In some aspects, you caught the flavor of your characters well. Somewhat formulaic, but it is beyond expectations to find a story that doesn't follow the formula. Check your PM's for a fuller comment. Not bad, just more than this is good for.

Actually, the entire romance was conducted like they were high school kids. Very sweet and romantic, but not the behavior of experienced mature adults. This was Romeo and Juliette, but without the youth and innocence this came off as just awkward and stilted. I appreciate the effort to make this loving and endearing, but their interaction was juvenile and clumsy. Intelligent experienced adults understand love, and risk, and reality, and opportunity. They both had made some bad relationship choices in their younger days, but intelligent mature adults learn from those experiences, and become stronger because of them. To portray them as hesitant uncertain timid victims of bad relationships makes them look weak and inept. Weak inept people are not yet ready to enter a marriage partnership. Your two characters were ready, willing,and able. So their hesitancy and uncertainty felt contrived and disingenuous.

It was a great plot with good interesting characters. I just wish you had made the progression and acknowledgement of their romance more like adults than teenagers.

What a well done story. Kept my interest all the way through. Thank you.

Outstanding. Thank you very much!

you were writing a sequel in this wonderful story of real people.

So I have to as-u-me? That you are now writing the next sequel to this remarkable story of people who go with the fame but still keep that downhome, good food, and the people next door.......Please...Asshole!

I loved reading you story. Thanks!

beneath the façade and behind the surface of the lure are real people. people with exceptional talent, but still regular folks. we got to know Rachel and Chet, but didn't meet the real Megan.

well written, engaging, and entertaining,

thanks.

Since they only have 2 months to explore each other before she starts to film the sequel, I believe you have set up your sequel to this story very well. I look forward to reading it..

Thank you. This is quite possibly the finest piece of writing I have ever read through this portal. I truly hope you are going to write a sequel. I look forward to it. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your vision and writing skill with us all.

A great romance. I simply loved it. Sometimes dreams and even fairytales come true. There have been Hollywood stars who had wonderful marriages, a minority it's true, but still there have been those rare jewels of normalcy amid the glamour. I think that the author has captured perfectly just how good marriages come about, that being two good people coming together as one.

When do we get to read it?

Winner!!!

Excellent read. You should post your stories on storiesonline.net also.

you did a very good job of writing. I couldn't give a tinkers damn about a writer or a "Star". I wouldn't walk across the street just to look at ANY "Star". When I was in Iraq a bunch of "Big Time Wrestlers" were in town. Stars that I didn't give a shit about. When we got slammed and went to work the stars did at least hold back and wait for pictures showing them with the injured that we had made sure would survive. So the stars make the money and we workers try to make a living. SO does a "Star" mean ANYTHING to me not a thing, I never watch a movie or any TV show, they mean absolutely nothing to me...I have a good life on the farm

Loved it!! I just loved this story. It wasn't overtly sexual, but it sure had its sexy moments. Please keep writing, I love your work!!!

great story, no sappy writing nothing overtly sexual. all around one of the best stories I've read in a while

So far the best story I have read by this author.

The real and likeable characters, and the small-town Texas atmosphere made it special. A story that can make me smile, glow with comfort, and wipe away a tear more than once is the kind of story I enjoy reading. Thank you for accomplishing all three!

Another Texas Farm Boy

Loved the Story. I loved the Romance and the small town Texas feel. Close enough to the city for it to be convenient and still in the country to let you know that there are still real good folks out there. Reminded me of Commerce, Hillsboro or even Mexia. From one Expatriate Texan,

Thanks.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Hollywood stardom does have its downsides--as some stars have found out. Just being plain folks can be just as rewarding for Chet and Rachel.

You should sell this to Hallmark. Minor edits of course, like Corpus Christi being on ocean. I for one enjoyed the characters and the story. BZ

grew up in the country but we moved to town when I was in the third grade. all ways felt out of place.in 1987 my bride & I moved back to the little city where I was born . she also was born in a small town & we couldn't be happier

A nice little story without becoming saccharine sweet as Hallmark tends to do.

this a feel good story like to read it again when i'm down . my late wife passed 7 + yrs ago & this reminds of her in true life .

don't know about Texas , but most states you can't sell venison or other wild life for comerical use.

I loved the story. I very blessedly had a 44 yr. love affair (marriage) with my lovely wife before the big C took her life. This love story brought many tears to an old softie romantic. (72 yrs.) Thank you so much.

Five stars are not enough. Thank you.

Loved the plot and the writing. Well done. Definitely a 5* if not more.

Copious amounts of missing preposition could not detract from a great feel good story (something sadly lacking with most submissions on this site).

This is my first read of TexasFarmBoy and based on this effort I am eager to sample more.

My second time reading the story. Didn’t miss a word. Thank you.

Beautiful...

Wow! Such a great story. Loved it. 5*

What a beautiful love story, would make a great Hallmark movie. Well done 5-stars

Your story was creative with good character development. Thanks for a great story!

Why was it necessary to for a woman who barely knew the guy to call him an asshole and a prick all the time, no one would do that to someone who is a stranger. It felt completely false and fake.

almost a 5 star. perfect story line, especially that both of them recovered from a bad 1st. marriage. just too many and too soon use of asshole instead of a name or other adjective.

Great story. I'm not a big fan of constant insults, like the previous commented, but still an easy 5 star for a read that made me feel good.

I had a stunning co-worker who would cuss like a sailor. It always made me smile when she talked. The use of the word asshole was not over done or misused. Great story!! Very enjoyable read. Thank you!

Love it--Love it--Love it. By the way. I have been married 57 years and my wife still calls me ASSHOLE.

Fantastic story, one of the best on this site.

To be continued please.

Needs a sequel, not sure what could be done with it though.

I accidently discovered Literotica by reading a story from the Romance section.

These are the stories I crave. I keep a list in Excel of stories I feel are very good, sorta "Must Reads"!

To be on the list the story must have a quality plot, believable and well defined characters and be decently edited.

Texas Farm Boy has several on the list and I just added this story: The Farmer and the Actress.

Two newer writers I found and have editorially supported anonymously are scoring well, one is approaching Hall of Fame status. If you appreciate good writing, then support the good authors.

(P.S. I am not a member of Literotica, but I support the good authors with encouragement.)

Beyond words

This is a fabulous read. Thank you so much for sharing it.

*****

Dyn-o mite! One of my top stories to read and enjoy. So, Texas Farm Boy, please keep on writing.

Awesome! Thank you!

Very well told. Good attention holder.

That was lovely

Calling someone an “ass” is one thing, but calling them an “asshole,” is an entirely different matter, and being from LA she would know that; think EST. . That he is the author she seeks to find is transparent on page 1. I sort of like this story, but it’s been done and redone.

Nice, tx!

Btw, do not, afterward, change sections you already wrote, would be my advice.

Because: almost every error in this text (and in many on this site, it is a very common problem!!) is on account of changing a previous phrasing into a 'better' one.

It's a bad idea, because you are blind to your own text after messing w/it for a while. Just write it down once and leave it alone.

Readers will forgive the second-best-phrasing more readily than confusing errors often caused by 'improvements'.

Story telling is your strength, don't worry about second best phrasing.

My two cents anyway
