NaNoWriMo 2009: Should I change or should I go?

I flirted with the idea of changing my story's point of view from first person to third person which would've required some major rewriting but would've added much more description and more words to the novel. Then I asked the question "Who am I?" and suddenly I was besieged with all this flashes and stories about my main character and who they were. That settled that, I'm sticking with first person. I added more backstory that explained certain elements made clear and now I know generally where I'm going with this story. That's a relief because I was getting a little dry yesterday and getting tough to pull those words out. Some of my descriptions suck and there's lots I will need to do but for now the story is still going strong. I'm getting close to the point where I need to name my characters (haven't had to use names yet for reasons integral to the story) so that probably will be the next sticking point. Oh well, more fun to come! ;)
