You’ll see writers talking about how much they value their “early” readers (aka beta readers) for their feedback on story ideas, pacing, plot points, characterization, etc. That holds doubly true for me as I struggle to put together a story that keeps the reader’s attention. My mother is one of my biggest supporters in all things writing, so she is always willing to read a rough draft and provide comments.
