One thing you don't want to do, despite the temptation (I failed by showing my cousin the first paragraph of a short story or novella I am writing yesterday) is to let anyone read what you are writing until you have the first draft done. This is because if they say it's good, you will be floored, and keep trying to be "good" instead of telling the narrative. If they say it needs work, you'll be disappointed and might abandon it. I will only comment on this to say keep working and then post the complete 1st draft, or don't read the comments people make until it is all posted.
