No word count tricks, no nothing. I even took out the Emergency Summary (the thing I typed a few days ago in case I hit 50,000 words but couldn't get to the end of the plot before the 30th).
Things I learned From NaNo This Year:
A lot of plot can be gotten from having characters with interesting backstories, then putting them into conflict. Half of my words were fights, and plot points I hadn't thought of in October.
I like this a lot better than last year's.
