Honestly, I quit already (I quit on Day 1, after hitting the first day's word count). <--But I have other things I'd rather be doing and can't for the life of me think about writing. I've also been unemployed since April, so writing for pleasure flew out the window the moment I quit working. Ugggh.
If I were you, I'd do as suggested above and try to write your current plot in a lighter fashion-- don't feel pressured to be quite as descriptive. I find myself throwing in extra words around NaNo time (especially the word "that") because I feel I need to write super-descriptively or I'll never hit 50k.
But if it still bothers you, you could just start something for the lolz. I feel that 50k counts if it's one story or 10. So long as you're writing more in November, it should be all good.
