Jed, I have done this in the past, and am doing it this year! Simply don't count the words you've already written for your November word count. I guess that puts me in the "rebel" category, but I don't really see it that way since I do everything else by the book. I have found that finishing books that I've started before but put down for some reason has been the most successful way to make it through NaNo, especially if I already have a connection with the characters.
