'I have never been convinced about the advice you often find in ‘How to Write’ guides that you should show your work to a friend. The assumption is that the comments you get back will be useful. It depends on who the friend is, in part. If you have written something absolutely, evidently brilliant and you show it to another writer, the response may be less than enthusiastic. If you have written something really original and ground-breaking, then it may prove too new and different to produce any useful response.' (Introduction)
