Well, I can't say I've hit writer's block, but that's probably because I allow myself to write crap. I think it's a good mantra. I have days where I don't want to write, or I'm not in the mood, or I am but the words "just aren't coming to me" or whatever, and on those days I force myself to write something and just don't worry about it being good or bad or whatever. I don't write my thoughts. I write something on the story. Whatever comes to mind for that scene or whatever. And I worry about fixing it up (or trashing it) later.
I can't say anything about the unconnected scene issue though. I always write the story from beginning to end. That's just my process. So I don't end up with disconnected scenes. In fact, my scenes end up so connected that it can become a problem during revision stage, when I need to add in a whole new scene or something like that. All of the connections with the current scenes have to be severed and reestablished with the new scene, which can be a pain in the ass.
