I could gladly give you six stars on every post of yours that I've ever read, poem, prose, or script. But this is one of those that will stay with me long after I've read it. Thanks for sharing.

Admiration. We should work together on a book. Split the royalties. You pick the topic. If you have a chance to read Tit for tat (entry), I would love your take on it...John

    Coming from a person whose wisdom and writing skills I truly admire, you've paid me the highest compliment you possibly could with those words (if you weren't cosmically tickling my ribs). If I were ten years younger I would leap for such an opportunity. But I'm not. With my bad back and my sleep deprivation, I am at least 5 years older. Thank you, though, for brightening this morning. I will read your Tit for Tat (hopefully today). May I counter offer what I consider the best I've written, published in Fabula Argentea Magazine in 2016: https://tinyurl.com/p95cbrte. You'll have to paste it in your browser. Again, thank you for your offer (or, ha-ha, that was a good one!).

Hello Jay Squire,
"Cornie, Cornie", but I would like to chant "Jay, Jay, Jay Squire!"
Captivating flow throughout from the beginning to the end.
Description of Setting, persons, places / situations and CILILLA's role is particularly noteworthy.
Marvelous Presentation!
SUPERB Indeed!

BRAVO!! BRAVO! ENCORE!!!!!!
Jay, this is a masterpiece, absolutely AMAZING FINALE!!! There would be some fabulous critique write-ups in the papers after this simply wonderful script-story had it played out on stage in real life. I hope you do something with this, because it would show parents everywhere that being autistic doesn't mean they are 'dummies'. That part really got to me, because my grandson Eric got called that at his school until his dad (my son) found the perfect special needs school for him. Now he's doing so much better. I really loved this story, Jay, super well done, my friend. I'll miss Cornie and his friends. Love and hugs. :)) Sandra xxx

    Ohhhhhh, Sandra. I'm going to miss hearing your applause at the end of each scene. You have been such a welcome ingredient to the success of this play. You always kept me going through the tough parts. Bless you, Sandra.

This Romance Script, Scene Finale, speaks in continuation, dramatically about graduation night, thru setting and progression thru dialogues appropriately and realistically; well said, well done; thanks for sharing this. ALCREATOR

Cornelius plays up to his true abilities, but with the support Cililla.who sort of semi naked as a contrast to the visual, but an invisible, ethereal kick in the teeth for the arrogant boy, but it works with the wonderful playing, with Mr Hallows inspiringly and perceptively asking Jennie to sit with Cornelius, a master stroke, well done, blessings Roy

Fantastic finale! You took us on quite the journey with Cornie and Cililla, his coach in living through life. I liked that he was able to have Jennie by his side and he could have this final moment of victory over all his insecurity by sharing his gift of music.

Suggestion to keep the spelling consistent:
JENNY, meanwhile, gazes at him with so much pride and love (Jennie)

    Thank you for the heads up. I'll change it before someone else uses it to give me 4 stars. Thanks, Helen, for your always kind and thoughtful reviews, and of course for the six stars.

    Thank you soooo much, Liz. I was happy to get it completed. It weighed heavily on me in many ways. My fear was that this finale would be like the Hollywood version of a town that sees the light about Rock and Roll, ending up with the stodgy mayor diddly-bopping with his wife along with the kids.
