I'm actually enjoying NaNo this year but I'm definitely not an achiever in the word count arena. I think I'm still below 5k.
This doesn't really bother me. I knew going in that I'm a slow writer and that word count goals don't really motivate me. November also hasn't been a great month for me this year. It's been a tough couple weeks for me.
I decided to do NaNo because it seemed like a fun way to interact with other writers, start working on an idea I've had in my head for a while, and get back into the routine if writing after starting a new job in July. Though I haven't been great at writing every day, I am getting back into a routine. So I'm not really upset by my lack of words. But I do feel a little left out. Everyone else who seems to be actively participating seems to be doing so well!
