Oh god, I'm usually not the least bit swayed by romantic things, but when I read "See what you have been missing" I squealed like a little school girl. That is TOO CUTE.

Sad to see this so far down, and at only 2 hour into this "AMA", sad to see the author will not address this.

Hopefully given time this comment will shoot to the top, but...really, what is this AMA for? Seeing it on the front page made me think that the concept was thrilling, or at least intriguing, but based on this nonsensical blurb I see nothing worth asking about, nor why we should be excited this is published.

I'm not trying to be mean to OP, but I feel that this is kind of an insulting AMA when the only questions are "How do I become like you?" and the only answers "Follow your dreams and don't give up!" ...really? "Follow your dreams, kids, and you TOO can pay money to make them come true!" What exactly did "not giving up" accomplish? How is his status now any different than his status when he first started, other than 100+ rejections under his belt?

OP should be asking for criticism and feedback on his book in order to "succeed", maybe even offering it for free like previous authors have done so that his next novel may not be rejected...all I see is bragging about writing multiple books in a short amount of time with the expectation of a pat on the back (which he seems to be receiving).

What makes someone a repeated consistent customer over the years? Are these people that just need quick loans on a regular basis, or people that just love pawning junk, or what? I figured the pawn business wasn't the place to see consistent faces, unless they're addicts...

Thank you so much for bringing this AMA here. For years I have thought of going on my own to the local Planned Parenthood clinic and escorting women; I am also in the south and there are ALWAYS protestors camped up there to block women in need. I will be sure to look and see if my local clinics have volunteers set up.

My question is, do you have a lot of volunteers that haven't had abortions? I've never had one myself but fully support the right to get one (and would have one in a heartbeat if the fetus were life threateningly deformed or disadvantaged). Can I still relate to the clients? I feel like I would just be saying empty words since I haven't experienced it...

So when you're "too old" from the program, what happens? Was it a big deal for you to say goodbye to your Big? Did you keep in touch for a while and gradually drift apart or was it more of a sudden thing?
