Second Draft - Belle And Beast Part I

I have FINALLY finished my round of edits for the first part of Belle and Beast. At this point, I'm stopping to send Part I to Alpha readers and see what they think. It ended up being around 64,000 words, which is shorter than I had realized, but still within normal book range. I am so excited to have my book out there in the universe to my alpha readers! It all feels a little more real because of that. It's also a little daunting knowing that I need to start prioritizing learning to self publish, market, and plan a book launch. As with anything....I'll be taking baby steps. And the way 2020 is going, doing each thing at least a month after I thought I'd be done with it.
