I'm on track, with 27 000 words under my belt. It's certainly the most I've ever written in such a short time. I'm not sure if any of it's any good, but I think some of it will be salvagable. I'll need to put it in a drawer for a month or so and then spend some serious time reworking it, but as I always say, it's much easier to turn a crappy story into a great story than it is to turn a blank page into a great story.
But I have to say I'm kind of enjoying the pressure. I like only having to write a small amount each day (1667 words). I like being able to compare my progress with other people (I am a competetive little monster). I like the idea of a REAL deadline, no extensions allowed.
And I really like updating my word count at Nanowrimo.org and seeing the blue line get a little longer each day.

This my first NaNo and I'm really enjoying forcing myself to write everyday too. I'm also not letting myself edit as I write so I'm fairly sure that at the end I'll have 50k of nonsensical randomness but at least it will have been fun. Hopefully.
