I traditionally use Nanowrimo to clean out my WIP folder. I would feel guilty about this, but I view Nanowrimo as counter-productive in the novel writing game for myself (this does not apply to everybody, obviously, as every writer is different). A book is typically 70,000 or 80,000 words minimum, and if you burn yourself out on the first 50,000 words by crazily sprinting through Nanowrimo, sometimes (read: for me, almost always) the work is not returned to after November.
However, at write-ins, I tell people the plot of a random novel because man, do people look at you with a stinkface for being a rebel sometimes.
Continuing a previous WIP is a good idea, actually, though I don't think it has 50,000 words left in it. I may do that in November and then start a new one from scratch in March like I planned.

ETA: People who start early or continue a previous WIP are also rebels
