Hi, so I mentioned this website in a comment yesterday and a couple people seemed to find it useful so I thought I'd share it here. If it helps even one fellow writer then this will have served its purpose. I'm sorry if this sounds like an advertisement.

For people who like to play video games and like to reward yourself for reaching your goals, you should check it out. The first month is free and after that it's only 4 bucks a month. (And no, they don't trick you into giving your payment info at the beginning so that you forget to cancel it in time like most things. Or maybe that's just me) There's an entire storyline and you can complete quests by defeating monsters. All you have to do to defeat the monsters is write and in return you get loot you can use for quests or to purchase gear for your avatar. Some monsters you have to write for a specific amount of time and if you stop you lose health but most monsters give you a word count to reach within the allotted time which, in my experience, is usually more than enough.

For anybody participating in NaNoWriMo, they've got an entire event based around it that I've actually found pretty cool. It's my first NaNoWriMo and using this website is just making it that much more exciting for me.

Whenever I use this site, my average daily word count is much higher than without it. I just wanted to share my excitement and hopefully introduce this game to people who aren't aware that might benefit from it as much as I have.

I'm no expert but am happy to answer any questions people might have. Also, if anyone else has found a tool that helps them and they enjoy, I would love to hear about it.
