You may not need it anymore but my startup is trying to get people to where you've gotten. In the case of NaNoWriMo, the idea is to force yourself to spread out the writing over the whole month: http://blog.beeminder.com/nanowrimo

I happened to have looked into your service in regards to tracking word count, but had some trouble figuring it out and making it fit into my workflow.
I'll check it out again, though, as I want to get back into exercising this month. Thanks for the reminder!
Cultivating that habit of 2,000 words a day in my first year of NaNoWriMo made all the difference in my victory. The almost half a million words of fiction written since then (2008) only came about through such day- and hour-sized persistence over a long period of time.
