Shove your inner editor into a box and tell them to stay there.
Do some sprints. Sprints are great for getting into the mindset of "Don't think, just write".
Tell your husband that no matter what you say to him about your novel, he has to reply, "WRITE. JUST WRITE."
:3 You can do it. Don't be afraid to write something that completely contradicts whatever you just wrote. You can go back and fix it later. Don't be afraid to get silly with it. You're allowed to pull out any random thing you can think of if it means hitting that word count. And like other people have said above me, if you're stuck on a scene, skip it and write something else. Nothing says you have to write in chronological (or any logical!) order.
