Really simple answer: write it wrong.

"You can't think your way out of a writing block, but you can write your way out of a thinking block."

I sincerely wish I knew whom to quote on that one, but it's brilliant. If you have to babble like a mad prince, do it!

I did a scene. I wanted to throw in certain details, so I just wrote them down. In the wrong order! I thought the details would have to be thrown out, but once I got them in the specially right order, they fit. Seriously, I was writing about decor in the middle of my character planning to break out of captivity by bounty hunters. If I had tried to get it right in the first draft, that decor would have been thrown out, but it reflected the bounty hunters - which he knew almost nothing else about.

Alright, that sounds weird, and it is, but it was pretty brilliant in context. If thatcan work, then your piece can work. Just babble, till you get all the details down. Then put them in a better order. Then, work on better wording.
