When I embark on those crazy projects, I have a bit of a formula to stick to. I kind of "build the body" of the story.
What I would do first is just rush through it, write the bones of each project. Don't worry about word count, just get the basics down. And yes, this does seem like a story outline, but you're really just writing the events in chronological order.
Then, put the muscles on by doing fillers, adding details, filling in holes with character development, et cetera.
Then put it away for a week or two before put the skin on! Make it flawless by editing, stripping, adding, tweaking, et cetera. Give it to two valued buddies and tell them to look at it extremely closely. Then take their advice and do those corrections IF you believe they will work.
That should keep you busy for the summer.
