My first NaNo was in 2008, and I won at nearly exactly 50k words. I'm still struggling to figure out how to revise that novel. I also wrote one more this year, a fantasy novel at 88k words, that I know I'm going to have to heavily revise (read: cut out the first ~40k).
This year for NaNo, I'm determined to write something that's publishable length, so I'm aiming for 75k words. That'll give me a novel that's just a hair on the short side, but definitely sellable. I'm going for something new to me, a novel that's part mystery and part mainstream. Not really sure where it'll end up.
Good luck, everybody. Remember, no plot, no problem!
