I've yet to decide on what exact method I'm going to use, but I know it will involve sentence production (i.e., "Translate this sentence into Japanese").

For that reason I will not make writing an extensive part of my sentence items. Notice I say "extensive"... I do plan to practice writing kanji, just probably not writing entire sentences at a time. Most likely what I'll do is take someone's advice of only physically writing down a sentence that I got wrong. Otherwise I'll just visualize the kanji rather than write them, or maybe just gloss over their writing with my palm and fingertip, which is what I currently do when reviewing Heisig. Of course, in visualizing the kanji I do still plan to visualize the entire kanji, because I learned the dangers of only paying attention to parts of kanji the hard way.
Alternatively -- or perhaps in combination with the above method -- I might simply have items that require me to write only a single word in kanji, though the word would still be taken from a sentence.
