When to show novel to someone else

Post by MoreCowbell »

When do you guys think it is best to show your writing to someone, in this case my husband? He would like to read what I have so far but for some reason I seem to remember Stephen King saying in his book On Writing not to do that for awhile, but of course I can't remember his recommended waiting time.

What do you all think? How many chapters or words in should I be before I show my hand a little?
