It helps that I work only until noon or 1 M-F, leaving me a good 3 hours to write before I start dinner. I know I could knock out more a day.

that too... i have always been bad with that, but i have given myself the strict rule not to agonize over things unless they effect the plotlines.
here are my rules:
1)If you cant think of 1 word for what you want in 10 seconds, use a shit one and highlight it so you know you wernt happy with it at the time and you can change in edits.
2)If you want to change a sentence structure but what is there will do the job, dont.
3)Anything can be fixed in editing. Getting something to edit is the issue.
4)GET THE DAMN STORY DOWN FLY.
Another story, or at least part two of a story, completed and submitted.
2,300 new words added to an old, now revised and extended, draft.
Total for November: 29,000
Three stories are now pending.
A new Winter Holiday Contest entry, wholly written in November, is ready for submission. That's a dozen or so words short of another 10,000. Added to the rounding-down in my previous figures, I'm on:
Total for November: 39,000
I made my 50,000 last week end. I have been attending all the write-ins and the retreats. The local NanoWrimo's are word war warriors and they really help to get the word count up quickly. I live halfway between two Nano locale's so I go to both, I don't think I would have done so well without them.
Word wars are set amounts of time 5, 10 or rarely 15 minutes of concentrated writing, whoever has the most words at the end of the time wins a small prize usually something silly as the prize is not the point of the exercise. We also do this in a chat room atmosphere for those that can't make it to write-ins most evenings. I always thought writing was a solitary hobby but i am finding that writing within a group can be very productive.

Congratulations on completing the challenge you set yourself.
NaNoWriMo has produced so many millions of words in the UK alone that they would swamp publishers.
Anyone else want to report their NaNoWriMo experience?
