This is what drafts are for. You don't need to get it right the first time... just at publish time.

I approach every scene in my stories with the questiosn "Where are we? Where are we going? How do we need to get there? What do we need right now?" The first sets up the general setting of the film and it's place in the narrative, the second establishes to what we need to end the entire scene. The third establishes what this scene does to move the narrative to the conclusion. The fourth asks for what do we need to satisfy the end of this scene."

Think of every scene as a mini-story in you overall narrative. What's the conflict of the scene and what is the resolution.
