Funny how things work. As soon as I decide I don't care about word count, I whip out 2,020 words in a day. Go figure.
The first thing I did this morning was detach my big stack of index cards, after a point one and a half scenes from now. There are a few more things that have to happen before I get to that point, and those scenes need to get added in. So part one, plan out the next week or two of writing.
This brings up a point that I occasionally find frustrating about my writing methodology. Early on, my index cards pretty much have a one card, one scene ratio. Later on, as I develop the story more, I realize that I need more connective tissue to hold them together, so I wind up adding in extra cards. Sometimes, it feels like I'm not making progress, just adding more and more new cards in between. It's not true, but the feeling is one I have to be aware of, so I can deal with it.
After the cards, I'm going to see if I can finish up this chapter. I've done half up to this point, and I'm happy with what I've written. Let's see if I can do a second half to match the first.
