No, actually, I think it's perfect.

NaNoWriMo kills your excuses for Not Writing. You've done homework, you've done plotting, you've done character sketches, blah blah blah fishcakes, just start writing the bloody thing already.

The benefit of NaNoWriMo is that it encourages/forces you to dump onto the page. Don't worry if it's any good. Seriously. Just write. You have your structure in place. Just write. _Afterwards_ you can edit, rewrite, get help from a friend, scrap it, whatever. But get the first draft going. You can't edit what ain't there.
