I've alway been more of a fan of the Camp NaNo events held throughout the year. Essentially, you choose your own goals for the month, then get put in a writing cabin with people who have simmilar goals/genres. I've never been able to write a whole novel in a month, but I could put just a 100 words a day as my goal or something.

So yeah, probably not entering the real NaNoWriMo, but maybe unofficially writing stuff in the spirit of it, just without the wordcount requirements.
