A quick recap of what happened in the month of November:
Karissa and I decided to pair up for ParaCycling Track Nationals about 2 weeks prior. It took us a week to get her bike up and running so we did a total of 2 track sessions before heading to LA and won 3 national titles. Boom!
I am now a Level 1 USA Cycling Coach! Completed the course a few weeks ago and am stoked for the personal and professional development it brings. I have spots available for those interested.
I wrote 41,000 words. My goal was 50,000 but I lost steam in LA. Now that I know what it takes, I'll attempt it again next year. I did develop some great new writing habits - like spending 2 hours a day in front of the computer without connectivity. I highly recommend it if you've ever toyed with the idea of writing a novel.
My dad came out for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately they didn't get to meet my world traveler fiancé but soon enough!
Been reading a ton again - now that I have my evenings back from writing (though not for long. I committed to finishing my memoir in 6 months)… "Mindset" by Carol Dweck is really good. My library queue has "Good to Great," "Play: How it Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination and Invigorates the Soul," "Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook," and "How to Write Short: Word Craft for Fast Times."

November novel! Hell yeah!
I thought you were going to stop at BOOM! Bummed I missed the match sprint. Glad to see you're up to continued awesome. Maybe I'll read a book over the holiday break....
P.S. My "prove that you're not a robot" word was PUBJOING. See if you can define that one and slip it into your novel :)
