  12. I've just begun work on a new project, and I'm facing the question
  13. I always seem to confront at about this point:  How long should I
  14. wait before I show it to someone else to get their input?  Years
  15. ago I would generally show whatever I'd written to someone else
  16. almost immediately after writing it, but I seem to recall hearing
  17. recently that waiting a while is a better idea.  (But then, this
  18. may all be relative to the individual writer...)
  19.  
  20. Any suggestions?
