don't think showing other people our writing while we're in the process of writing it, looking for what they think about it, is for us. think it's the enemy for us, lmao.
we've historically always gotten so caught up in what they think about it that we start pandering to what we think might interest them as opposed to writing what interests *us*. hard to get excited about your own shit when you're so caught up in whether other people will like it, or what they'll have to say about it, or what if they don't think it's good, what if they think we should change something.
collaborating on a story is different. getting compliments is nice. getting feedback is not a thing we can do unless we've got a full draft and are asking someone to edit or beta it
