A couple NaNoWriMos back I saw the advice to switch to writing in Comic Sans to write faster. It seemed like silly advice, but it works surprisingly well and I think there are a couple keys to it: we know from the dyslexia studies that Comic Sans is often faster to read for many people (because people mostly read word shapes not letter-at-a-time and Comic Sans has great diversity in word shapes) and you do still need to read what you recently wrote to follow trains-of-thought, but also there seems to be a weird psychological effect in play when writing in Comic Sans for a first draft where with the font's overall lack of formality/casualness that you tend to give yourself more permission for mistakes and not editing while you write. I did find a noticeable speed improvement in NaNoWriMo attempts when writing in Comic Sans. I find that fascinating.
