I did this last year, and while I can say probably the last 10,000 words from my sleep deprived brain ended up being deleted when I turned to revision, the ultimate goal is to have a novel at least half way written if not finished by the end of the month.

Personally, I am now in revisions of what I wrote last year with only about 15,000 to 25,000 more words to go before I have a sellable novel out of my NaNo story.

It is fun, plain and simple. For those who take it seriously and write according to the guidelines and honestly, it can be a very rewarding month. I know I felt very accomplished on December 1st knowing I completed my goal.

Now, to get that goal published. Soon...
