Getting started again

So trying to settle in- quiet my mind.  I was very excited to come home today and see what scenes I could knock off next. I've decided not to worry about how they connect or make sense, just get them out on paper and then worry about it. This has definitely helped a lot.

I have 10 scenes left. Maybe I can knock a few out tonight.

UPDATE: 6:22pm: 1 scene done. 356 words LOL.  DONE THOUGH, IT'S OUT OF MY HEAD FINALLY. Off to the next scene.  [452 words, including the few I'd done the other night]

UPDATE: 6:48pm: So I completed the oh so important task of setting up my writing timeline in Outlook. Don't know why, I just suddenly HAD to have it.  I am getting rather excited about being so close to the end. Which brings me to now: I am stuck.
I'm trying to remember- it doesn't matter if it makes sense or connects or fits together. Just get the scene out of my head in all of its skimming, crappy version. I can easily fill in the gaps, connect it and beef it up during revision. But I can't fix what I can't see. So just write it. It's okay if it's not perfect.

UPDATE 8:00:  Another scene done- 722 words.  Total progress so far tonight: 1226
It's SO rough- which is exactly the point of course. I just need to admit that again.
But I left myself in a good place. Not sure whether I can try getting another one completed tonight
But only 2 chapters left to go (and last scene was actually in these chapters), so I'm actually making headway on the last 2 chapters on the book! YAY.
I think I'll call this a night and keep the big battle for tomorrow. :D
