I wish you good luck! I can't say I'm in the same boat, as I'm ahead.. >.>
However, I've been motivating myself by rewarding myself when I reach a writing goal. In fact, my one friend who's behind has a box of smarties with 'catch up!' written on it, which she's not allowed to eat until she does. I know it works for me!
I do have some motivation, as my sister and I stayed up for an all night write in. With that plus what I wrote after I woke up, I went from 2697 words to 6125 words, with more yet to write. I found over in the nano forums that adoption threads have helped a bunch, especially when it comes to chapter titles.
I did reward myself today with a two bottles of pop. I plan on rewarding myself big time with an Ipod when i reach 15k, which now seems more of an attainable goal for me.
