My first year I wrote a character (one quite bonkers at that) who talked with a stutter all the time, repeated words, messed with grammar etc. While it annoyed me at some points, it not only boosted my word count (which every new Nano is glad for) but it also, weirdly, helped me to get into this character's extremely messed up head at some points. When, if he spoke normally, or I were to write him speaking normally, I might make the mistake of writing him as a completely normal person.
So, for me, it helped, even though it was, on occasion, frustrating.
