But for many of us, myself included, the value of NaNoWriMo comes from forcing me to get down to writing a decent amount of text every night. This month I'm hoping to exceed 50,000 words. In an average month, I'd probably do less than 10,000.
One thing I know is that I need to write more, if I'm ever going to get good at it. I will need to spend a lot of time finding my own style, and writing a lot of my own stuff is part of that. Not all, but part.
If you don't feel any need to increase the amount you write each month, that's fine, and good luck to you. However, I do, and NaNo is a good way to force myself to do it. And once I've got that completed first draft, then I'll spend the first half of next year re-writing it, and trying to turn a very rough first draft into a reasonable attempt at a novel.
