LSAC will give your LSAT score to law schools even if you haven't done the writing sample yet.
But still don't wait too long to do it!

From LSAC:
Dear Candidate –
As you know, starting in June 2019, we separated the writing portion of the LSAT from the multiple-choice portion. After five months of experience with the writing portion (“LSAT Writing”), many of the benefits we expected – including a shorter test day and the ability for candidates to provide their writing sample in a more natural setting at a convenient time and place of their choosing – have come to fruition. But we have also heard from a number of member schools that they are interested in receiving applicant scores as soon as they are available, even as candidates are still completing LSAT Writing.
Therefore, to help candidates and schools move expeditiously through the admission process, we will be releasing scores for the multiple-choice portion of the LSAT to you and to the law schools to which you apply (or have applied), as soon as scores are available, even if you have not yet completed your writing sample. This change applies to anyone who took or will take the multiple-choice portion of the LSAT in this testing cycle which began June 2019 and ends in April 2020.
This change does not mean that legal writing is any less important. Many law schools require a writing sample as an integral part of their admission decision, and therefore, you should take the writing sample immediately and to meet schools’ application deadlines. Writing samples will be shared with you and schools as soon as they are completed. LSAC includes the fee for the writing sample as part of the LSAT fee to encourage this prompt action. In case you are not applying in the current cycle, please note you have a maximum of a year to take LSAT Writing without an additional fee; after that it is a separate fee unless you take the entire LSAT again...
