First of all, you need to understand something. Take your perfectionist self and your internal editor and throw them in a closet and lock the door. Leave them there for the month of November. They have no place during NaNoWriMo. It's all about quantity, not quality. If I ever even dreamed of showing you my third year novel, you'd understand (if it were paper, I'd probably burn it, it's that bad).
That's good to hear. A basic plot helps a lot. I'm plotting more than I ever have before (mystery novels require it) but I intend to have fun while writing it. And then there is the fine are of word padding. Oh! And I recommend a gratuitous explosion (it worked for last year's novel).
