I used to, long ago, but I learned not to. Why? Three reasons:<br /><br />1) It's MY story, not yours. Whenever I would share the idea I was working on, the suggestions would pour in. He should be vampire. She should actually be his long-lost sister. The bad guy should turn out to be a government agent. No! It's my story.

He is the perfect representative of my target audience, for one. But on top of that I can trust him implicitly. I don't mean to give feedback that is right.

But as my work has started to get longer, I felt the need to hear how readers thought it was panning out.
