Someone needs to comment this apart from PJ Mk.1

A brilliant little reflection piece – a bit cliche in places, but well-written nonetheless, so good work on that…!

Thanks for, another entry, Miss Deane, you really must stop soon ;) MH :)

I’m done now! Promise!

Oh, and, may as well say.. this isn’t my real name..

I dig the story. Nice reflection on this once proud director, now down on his luck.

I do have a couple suggestions though. First, I’d modify that last line of the second paragraph. The comma-space-“had” is a little overdone, and doesn’t read as well as it could. I would probably go with something like this (also fixing the spelling error):

I had directed blockbusters; I was known in the [smallest] countries on Earth; and mingled with the young and the beautiful.

Also, the phrase “in the dim stage lights” reads improperly. It should be “under the dim stage lights,” “in the glow of the dim stage lights,” or even “in the dim stage light.” The director is not literally in the lights, which is what this phrasing suggests.

Apart from me being nit-picky, I still very much enjoyed the yarn.

John practically said all of the corrections, so I have nothing left but to praise you on a different view of stage that not many people do.
