“I’m working on writing a book” “Can I read it???” “No.”

Anyone else give a hard NOPE when people ask to read what you have so far?

I’m 20k words into my first actual manuscript (after dozens of started ideas that I flopped after the first 2k or so…) and I refuse to let even my closest book-worm friend read it. I don’t want any feedback, good nor bad, to interrupt my momentum/flow before it is finished…

Tell me I’m not the only one who hoards their writing like a secret stash!
