I'm sure it'll be an interesting read. I know at least one person who managed to get his NaNoWriMo novel published recently (I bought a copy myself).

Finding a publisher who may be interested in it is a different stage, and I think it's something you can only do properly once you have the finished work in hand.

So write! Write like the wind! :-)
