I used to do about 50000 a year myself and then I joined a group called Get Your Words Out. The membership is closed until the beginning of next year but they've worked wonders in helping me realize how much I can write in a year. Another group I am part of is Weekend Writing Marathon and they've got open membership all year - a lot of my words for the year have come during a weekend!
I've never managed to do NANOWRIMO. I think it is too much pressure on me and I have never developed any ideas I want to try to use for that.
But I believe you can write the words you've set for the year and maybe more. Here is a suggestion that I've used and do what you want with it but as you see yourself getting closer to your goal, set another one. Not a huge one to start with but some like 2000 to 5000 words and each time you get them, set another goal. If you do that say 5 times you can have anywhere from 10000 to 20000 more words than you originally planned. I admit my word count goals are big because I know I can write that much in a year and when I hit 227200 I won't be stopping for the year but will continue on. I'd love to hit 400K this year as it'd be the most words ever for me but I'd settle for breaking my current record ever just by like 100 words or so.
