I'm challenging you to write a scene, and every time you're about to make a decision, flip a coin.
Does he put his hand on her arm? *flip*
Does she threaten to kill him? *flip*
Is the dog wearing a polo shirt? *flip*
This exercise forces you to come up with more ideas than you normally would, to consider options beyond your comfort zone. And, it lends writing an element of unpredictability that can be a lot of fun.
It might be the second-best thing to a really amazing co-writer.
Have fun.
