It's more that some words, or rather, some tones, are much harder to penetrate, for me; it takes the six hours to sink, fully, into the right frame of mind for that particular scene.
I've been doing a variation of this in the wip alone by moving between scenes. If I feel lighter, I move up or down the timline and write one scene. When I can deal with fine detail and tension, I move around and write a different one. There's the danger that I am still too much of a linear writer to do a decent job writing out-of-sequence, but I am hoping that my process is changing enough that this mode of operation works out.
