Do it anyway! 50,000 words in a month is only 2000 a day. Get advice from simbo as to how he wrote that 12 page english paper in high school: He was amazingly off topic, but he ended up with a C anyway due to the breadth of the material covered.
It just takes some perseverence. I'm going to use the 2k writing as my morning wakeup routine... It doesn't have to be *good*, just done. The challenge goes against our society's meritocratic ideals, and I think it'll help us all to become better writers through sheer force of thoughtful effort.
After all, since we enjoy writing, we'll at least try and do our best, even if we're rushing. Continual, iterative improvement where the process is more important than the end result.
A common comment from most writers from years past is that their finished novels were actually passable. Not incredible, but satisfyingly mediocre. :)
Wow, that's cool. You should totally do that and be awesome. Of course, then Mrs. Butero would say that it's too good and not want to give you credit, but still. ;)
