Here's the thing: 50,000/30 is 1,666 words a day. 1,666 words a day is a lot, but if you're a good typist you should be able to manage it in about an hour IF you focus on typing no matter what, and not trying to edit as you go. Do you spend an hour on the train commuting? Or watching TV?

Give it a shot, and see how far you get!

If you really don't want to though, turning off your inner editor and pushing yourself to get some words down is still important.
