Ever read a fight or a battle or some similar scene and thought, "Gosh, this is boring"? Ever read a scene between two people chatting and thought, "Scintillating"?
The original reply to this post is still, in my view, the best and most apt:
Well, if they're boring for you to write, then they are sure to be boring for your reader.
There are parallels with filming a 'boring' scene. One needs to find the hook or the angle that makes it interesting enough to say 'action'. It might be a setting or the introduction of a subordinate character. I wrote a scene once for a radio play - sorry, personal experience has to come into it, but personal experience is so subjective that you might not see why I'm making a fuss about it - where two characters met in a bar.
Dull. And talked.
Dull, dull. And one found out that the other was a villain.
Big deal.
But I enjoyed writing it because the villain, an archetypal thug, had just found out that "wherefore" meant "why", and not "where" as most illiterati might think. So he spent much of the conversation wondering what other words he'd been getting wrong and, ultimately, marvelling at people who actually watch a play by the Bard and
understand it. The scene is one of my favourites from that particular series. It got laughs, too, so I think it must have worked.
Make the boring scenes interesting to yourself. Include something in them that you want to share with your reader, whether it's plot-relevant or not. You're a writer and you have a vast imagination. You must have more to say beyond the limitations of that one-line plot note (
Caroline meets Izzy in the bar and she discovers that she can't trust him).
Or to invert Piyi's contention: Interest yourself and your audience will follow.
