: Re: How to improve writing non-action scenes I think in terms of action. Whenever I am imagining any scene I am about to write, I see it as a movie playing in my head which I then pen to paper.

I get that same problem too, although I tend to get past it a bit quicker. Here's a few ideas that might help;

write everything else first, then go back and make the less intense parts however you need them to fit into the rest of the story. This way you don't mess yourself up because you said something you shouldn't have at some point and you can just get all the hard stuff out of the way at the end.

maybe think of it as a figurative battle. Sometimes you can fight people over the phone and you both get beat up in the end.

As for travel scenes, answers to this question might help you out.

just push through it. You won't like it, but you can always come back later.

Good luck!
