Turning a Manuscript into a Book

Hello again!

How about we begin this post with a question? (Not counting that one.) At what point does a manuscript/WIP become a Book? 

Personally, I think it happens partway through the post-Beta edits. The story I send out to my Beta readers is somewhat polished, but it's only after I start to implement their advice that I really start feeling like I've actually written a book. 

All of this is to say, that sometime in the near future, my humble manuscript, my labor of love/WIP, is going to undergo a beautiful transformation. It's going into the editing chrysalis as a WIP, but it's going to come out as an actual, honest-to-goodness BOOK! 

That book will need to be polished up before it can be published, (don't we all need some extra time to become fully presentable?) Unfortunately, it's still a little too soon for me to say exactly when the release date will be (though I do have a day in mind.) But I couldn't be more excited to take part in this metamorphosis!

Have a great day, and keep writing!
