50,000 words in 30 days is a big task. It's 1667 words per day, every day for the entire month of November.
The single biggest thing you need to do before November 1st is commit.
Don't just sign up on the website, set up your profile, come up with a story idea.
Don't just tell your friends and family, strangers on the internet, readers of your blog, your beloved pet that you're doing Nanowrimo this year.
Commit to yourself. Know and acknowledge that it will be hard, that you will have to *work* at it to finish your 50K. Know that you will probably need to sacrifice something - social life, chores, sleep - and commit to doing that. Promise yourself that you will not let anything keep you from finishing Nanowrimo, as hard as it may get.
If you want a shiny banner like this one:
*If you want to feel the raw satisfaction that comes with accomplishing your goal, you need to commit now.
*2008 was the first banner I found when I went looking for a winner banner in my admittedly messy computer folders.
