I am Roger Lubeck. This will be my eighth NANOWRIMO. Each year I have written a new 50,000+-word novel. The first three novels were a fantasy / adventure trilogy set in the same medieval world. To the Western Border (Book One) is published and available on Amazon. Two of my other novels were science fiction / military stories. Last year, I wrote Bullseye, a noir novel of murder and suspense. It is my most complete novel and will be available on Amazon this month. Each year, I start with only a scene and a character in mind. Personally, I like the freedom this creates, but I have experienced a few false starts. I edit for spelling, grammar, and continuity every day and I may even do some rewriting, but I never find this hurts my word count and it often makes it easier for me to get started on a new chapter or scene. However, I wait until after NANOWRIMO for any serious rewriting. This year I may write a sequel to Bullseye because I like the dark nature of the main character, but it is still early. Good luck to everyone. Start fast and never look back!
