I'm sure your friend will be pleased with her present.

I liked it.

It didn't drag - it just had some long paragraphs at the start.

A nice account of an awkward (but oddly sweet) moment between an actor and his audience, I liked it. I thought it was good how Sam didn't have to think about acting or his next line, it just happened, but then his being stunned enough by this girl to end up losing his flow and actually having to *think* about what he was doing.

Wish I'd been able to write like you in my early teens...

Merry Christmas Beth :)
