I had your approach to NaNo last year- I had a story I wanted to tell and NaNo seemed a good excuse to give it a try. I ended up with a 26,000 word novella that I'm pretty proud of.
This year, I set out from the beginning to try to win, and also to be more active in the social part of NaNo. I'm already more than a day ahead of schedule and I attended my region's kickoff party and one of the write-ins. And the text just keeps flowing.
Both ways to enjoy NaNo work. Don't feel any pressure to finish a novel if you don't want to.
