To NaNo or Not to NaNo

I'm in two minds about whether to attempt NaNoWriMo this year: 50,000 words in 30 days during November.  Last year when I attempted I was doing really well until somebody stole my laptop.  I didn't lose as much work as I thought, but I did lose my NaNo draft from that year, which was quite depressing.  This year I'd be starting from (almost) scratch again on the same story.

NaNoWriMo is really good for creating a terrible first draft.  It isn't good if you want to create a semi-decent first draft.  I hear it's better to go into the month with an outline of your work and a good idea of what you want to write, but I have been struggling with my outline.


Perhaps I should flip a coin :/
