Love this! Especially your very handy and so very Sonal-like possible responses to this question. I will use these going forward.
PS: I always want to eat chips for dinner. Now I can just shout out "Process!"
PPS: I've missed reading your excellent and timely answers. I know you've been in my inbox, but I have had to shout out Process a lot these last nine or ten months. I'm happy to be reading you again. Hope you are well.
I understand KbK’s situation, as I similarly have some very supportive friends pleading to read my work. In my case, none of these people are readers, and the rare times they do read, it is never ever the genre I’ve written. So I don’t think they will enjoy what I wrote! Showing someone your work, especially when it’s first germinated, makes you very vulnerable. And when those people are unlikely to be able to appreciate it, it seems like a losing prospect to show it to them.
