What helped me complete it the one time I tried (2012) was using Evernote as the app for writing. Since it syncs across all my devices (iphone, touch, Mac, PC) plus is available via web browser from any computer I always had it available to add a paragraph or two wherever I was with a little time on my hands.
The hardest part for me was to keep reminding myself NOT to try to edit anything I just wrote! If you want to make 50K the rule is "never erase, never go back and amend". This was so hard for me that I had to allow myself to use "strikeout" to draw a line through words *only in a sentence I just typed* if I wanted to type different words.
Also for the 50K goal:
- type out all numbers etc "Twenty Three" not "23" - Adjectives are your word-count friend. You will be editing later anyway so don't worry if you use the same adjective twice in close proximity (or if you see that, do the strikeout and add a different one) - NEVER ERASE anything you've written >;-0
