It happens to me a lot of time, specifically conversation scenes of casual talks without direct mentions of any plot-relevant information, such as friendly gossip between characters. Oh I just hate it. When can I get to the main points? I often lose interest in it as quick as just 3 minutes even on my most passionate day.
But unfortunately, I can't completely eliminate these scenes. I can shorten them as much as possible, but not 100% getting rid of it. Those conversation scenes existed within the story for a reason, either they are there to directly providing or indirectly hinting some information of later scenes/chapters, or to broaden the characteristical depths of the characters, or to set up the appropriate situational atmosphere. Despite they are very boring for me to write, I have no choice but to dealt with it. So I only have one single choice: Brace up, and break through this wall in front of me. I don't think there is any other method, so I just face against this challenge the hard way.
