I have read 60 chapters (out of 75 translated/128 total), and *man* is it good! It's so far so very much like the MilSF I like. This bit is also ... overwrought and tropey in a way that actually fits the genre, rather than something that feels like a romance author creating the most boring and stereotypical technically-SF backdrop for their romance, so I am happy. Steampunk MilSF where gay people exist!
See, I think step one would benefit you - outlining is a powerful tool, and just the analytical thinking through of what the next scene needs to have can be a good thing that jars out blocks. Over the long haul, I average about 500 words per day for longer projects (10k+), incuding days off, though e.g. on Saturday I wrote 4k. Outlines! I do occasionally find that I need to have an intermediate scene for things to make sense, but having an idea of how things end and what to work towards is always good.
