**It is not terrible practice to write some parts sloppily, if you later come back and edit them.** I am familiar with the desire to get to certain scenes, and yet I need at least the general shape of the scenes before, in order to get the "interesting" scene to play out right. So sometimes I rush through a scene to get to the next one, and then go back and edit the work I know I've done badly. If the scene I desperately want to get to is too far away, I usually just write a version of it, to get it out of my system, and then go back to writing what I should be writing. At this point, I know it's not the final version, but it's _a_ version, so it isn't bothering me so much anymore. But you say you prefer not to do that, so maybe the first option would work better for you.
