Here's an idea:

**Make Your Story Available**

1. Get a google drive account. It's 100% free.
2. write your story and save it on your google drive.
3. share the document via URL -- it's easy to do -- then you can give the URL to people you want to read your story.

**Gather Feedback**

1. Next, you use Google Drive to create a Feedback Form.
2. You just say, New Form and add questions\*.
3. Share the form so your readers can provide feedback anonymously.

\*These questions will be things like:

1. Overall, did you enjoy reading the story? rate 1 to 5 (5 being best)

2. What was your favorite part of the story? [text]

3. What was your least favorite part? [text]
4. Did you like the main character? (yes/no)
5. Was the plotting overall interesting? (yes/no) etc.

Here's the sample so you can see it. Yes, it's a strange public URL, but it's real and it works. It saves all hte user's responses in a spreadsheet on your **Google Drive**.

**The Benefits Are Many**

This helps you get more feedback and allows users to respond anonymously so they don't have to feel like they are hurting your feelings. You can make the questions far more specific too.
