Maybe you haven't completely decided what this script is about. You need to
have that down in your head before you can write it. If you are having too
many other ideas it's probably because you're not focused on this script.
Maybe you want to write something else instead. This probably happens to all
writers. you get the idea for a sequel in the middle of the current script.
Sometimes you incorporate those ideas in the script you're writing. They
must be connected why else are they coming to you now. Anyway take the
current script. If you already have the ending (and you should) and the
beginning- the bookends then you fill in the blanks as quickly as possible,
just jot down the ideas in some sort of order and then flesh them out later.
If you really work quickly then the distractions won't come. There won't be
time to be distracted. Then you can go back to the little ideas one at a
time and expand on them. See if they connect, merge some of them, drop some
of them and before you know it- script done.
All the best
