Nothing clogs a stream of words as fast as stopping to work out a description of a character, scene, object, etc.
One trick that works for me is leaping over that part and returning to it later.
For instance, supposing your character has just entered a room or met a new person. Rather than stopping the action in your mind to develop that room or person, simply write DESCRIBE and keep going.
Later, when you have a spare ten or fifteen minutes, you can return to the blipped over portion with your entire attention.
It often works for me. Maybe it will for you, too.
