These are words—a prime example of the sort of thing you're looking for

As the successful author of possibly the worst novel ever written, I've been invited to offer some advice on how to succeed in NaNoWriMo. Since this post is not itself a part of NaNoWriMo, I'll get right to it.

1) Steve, uncharacteristically, is right: attitude is everything. For my successful first attempt, I went in essentially decided that I would rather die than fail. For my unsuccessful second attempt, I went in thinking that it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't finish, because I'd already proven I could do it. Failure was thus assured.

2) Procrastinate. Okay, bear with me here. Procrastination gets a bad rap, and maybe that's fair, but the truth is that we all do it, because we need to do it. Unless you're some sort of scary writing machine, you're not going to be working on your novel during every waking moment. But when you're doing other things, make sure that you're procrastinating—consider any time that you aren't writing to be time that you should be writing. This will help build up enough guilt and tension to get your pens/keyboards rocking.

3) Be unemployed. This is bad advice for life, but good advice for crazy nonsense like NaNoWriMo. Any time you spend working is time you could be spending procrastinating. 

4) Have several/all of your characters swear profusely. It's a cheap way to easily pump up your word count, asshole, which is really the whole fucking point. If this sort of language isn't appropriate to your plot or setting, change your motherfucking plot and setting, you goddamn fucking piece of shit.

5) If possible, disable your delete key. Yes, it's difficult to avoid editing on the fly. I certainly can't manage it, but just try to remember: the whole point is to reach the finish line. Deleting words during NaNoWriMo is like going backwards in a marathon because you don't think you made that last turn gracefully enough.

6) When you're thinking about your story, write what you think. Trying to decide what your protagonist should do next? Have her call up her mom and talk about what she should do next. Your internal dialogue will make great (by which I mean "lengthy") actual dialogue.

7) When your plot is stuck, it's time for flashbacks! Aside from moving the word count in the right direction, exploring the backstory of a character (or world, or whatever) can help you learn something about said character(/world/whatever) that will help you as you move the story along. Plus, if there's some sort of thematic connection between the flashback and the character's current dilemma, it'll make you seem all deep and shit.
