		<description>Lily,

Nice to see you again!

I did write for myself -- and then constantly worried about offending the readers I cared most about: escorts. I have stepped on a toe here and there, but nothing too bad (I think). 

Though I am mostly pleased, I think if I re-read it, I&#039;d change a lot. But I&#039;d keep the same essential message. 

Thank you for your insight, as always. Bottom line: yes, I am proud to show the book to people.

		<description>Most writers want to write for themselves. For you, I am sure this is difficult considering you are working for an audience approval (to a point) , but at the heart of it, it is a story you feel the need to tell albeit in the form of a manual of sorts.

Praise yourself for the approvals. Read the disapproving comments with an open mind and judge them from your experience, and then, move on.

We can all pick apart our efforts and try to perfect them to the tastes of everyone, but in the end, it doesn&#039;t tell our story...only we can do that.

There is no such thing as words that will please everyone...but it is easy to accomplish the goal of pleasing yourself.  Are you pleased Amanda?

The first person who needs to approve of and appreciate the work is you. Everyone else is just bonus;)

		<description>Sarah,

To be honest, I haven&#039;t checked my reviews in the past several months. The actual post was me having an idle thought and carrying it to (what I thought) was a humorous extreme.

A BBFS man? God. I don&#039;t even want to imagine. Don&#039;t get me started.

Anything else is a matter of conjecture. I certainly have my own ideas on the escort community as a whole. I am disturbed when I feel there are cracks in the united front that we (the women) need. It disturbs me a lot, actually. And I draw back. I have trust issues, certainly. 

But thank you very much for your support. I&#039;ve admired your Web presence for a couple years now.

		<description>Amanda,

I read some of the reviews and it seems that the negative is coming form those who the book was not intended to be for in the first place. Its a given that &quot;hobbiest&quot; will read it but they overlook the helpful information to women and one even went as far as to identify himself as a BBFS lover that was appalled that you knew about condoms. 

I say ignore it. You put out a great read, informative, concise, and matter of fact. It will help many young women who decide to enter the business and help other s stay out of it . You can&#039;t please everyone and who would want to anyway?</description>

		<description>Samantha,

Interesting thought. I am usually the one who comes up with these theories and I didn&#039;t even think of this. Though if we&#039;re discussing the same person then they are not someone I trust anyway. Very perceptive.

Thank you.
