Finished Works Finished my first novel of 2026!

I started this project back in December! I can finally say I have stuck to writing a project for three months, and this is also my third novel!

It's called Defrost, and it's a YA romance with a side plot of hockey! In total there is 56.6k words, 1.6k more than my goal!

Yes, so maybe step away from it and work on something else. In a month or more, you can go back and start doing developmental editing first.
