I'm in the process of writing a book and through my plans I know I have a fairly crucial, game-changing scene coming up. I can't help but put it off!

I don't want to force myself to sit and write it through because quality will suffer. How do I help this procrastination and regain the spirit of my writing enough to hit this scene?

Does anyone have any techniques, or ideas, about how I can overcome this?

I've read through the question: [How do you deal with procrastination when writing?](https://writers.stackexchange.com/questions/495/how-do-you-deal-with-procrastination-when-writing) but this seems to do with procrastination on a whole story level rather than what I'm dealing with, which is avoiding writing a particular scene.

I'm in a situation whereby I'm procrastinating too much and I feel I'm overexpanding the scenes around my game-changer and as a result they are getting bloated. I'm almost over-writing the scenes around it to sort of delay the actual writing of the scene!
