It's 2:40 AM. I'm not too tired, so I think I'll feed the cats, get some cereal, and push on. I don't like stopping at the end of a scene, cause it's harder to get started again the next time.
42000 + to go

If this is helpful:
When building my airplane, getting re-started after a break was difficult... This is a strategy I developed: When ending, write down a specific note of one small next-step that was ready to do. This got me past the wondering "What should I do next..." because it was always: "Read the note!! and just do that..." and of course as soon as I did that next small step, the rest followed on...
Maybe as a writer I should adopt this policy too, somehow? Maybe I can write down a ToDo Item that says specifically the next sentence I should write, but stop short of actually writing it ... Anything to reduce my procrastination and 'mental wandering...' sometimes...

I've done that sometimes, and it does work. I just make a shorthand bullet point list in my document of what I was planning to do next.
