You know that my process is simply antithetical to crit-as-you-go: a pile of temporally distinct fragments will help no one. So I am definitely not in that camp.
However. The most trouble I've gotten myself into with a book was because it was completely in the echo chamber of my head and none of the details were discussed with anyone, so nobody could tell me that it was not doing a few crucial things until I'd already written about 300K words. So I think that I need some input--just not the "I read this and here's what I think" kind, mostly.
