I'll read the whole chapter, hen-peck at sentences, write some bits of a scene, zoom out, double check that it fits and there's a purpose to it, zoom back in and hen-peck, zoom out to make sure what I'm about to write fits in the overall plot, zoom in a little to check the character arcs, and then zoom all the way back in to write it.
