One thing I do is write what ever scene I have inspired in my head and put it as a side note labeled something like "Anger scene", "the meeting", things like that so I know what those notes are generally about. Then as I write, and I get to a point where one of those scenes in my notes may apply, I go back and read it. See if I can still make it work with how the story progressed. If I do, I add it in, if not, it's good source material for a future scene that might spark ideas.

I also do this when I am going through emotions. What's one of the best ways for a reader to feel what your MC is feeling? To have true emotions placed with the character. One of the best ways I found to do this is when I am angry, I write what I would do, say, I would murder that person on paper. Write it all out. Now, when you need an angry scene, there it is with true raw emotions that you can then add into your piece.

I totally understand how you feel. Often, I too am sitting there writing a chapter but then get ideas for a chapter way later in the book. I just write those ideas in a note so I don't lose em and revisit as needed.
