Everyone is different, and some writers don't want to participate in writing events or challenges. That's fine. The purpose of naNoWriMo is to help writers have a deadline and a goal, and establish a habit that will be the building blocks of their writing career, or solidify their existing ones.
Case in point, if you don't want to be writing consistently, and don't want help in establishing a habit and a routine, then don't bother trying NaNoWriMo 2017.
I've been doing NaNoWriMo since 2004, a vet. I didn't do it every year, but I did the first 7 years in a row, until life took over. Then I did it every other year.
I would love to do it this year, but I have a WIP story in progress, and per NaNoWriMo rules, you need to be writing a whole new story from the beginning. Right now, I'm at 25k words, and my goal is to write 80k words. That means I have 55,000 words left, and NaNoWriMo's challenge is 50k words in 30 days... so, I COULD join in and be a NaNoRebel. But naw, I'll be there in spirit.
Are you going to join in?
