Soap Opera blues.... I hate that!

At work, as usual and bored out of my mind!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried to work on my manuscript a little, but I ended up doing more editing than new writing. Granted, the editing needed doing, and I am struggling with the conversation that I am trying to write at the moment. Everything I write seems like it is coming out of a soap opera (a bad soap opera at that), not the feel I'm looking for in the scene. My heroine is confronting a man who has threatened her in the past, and who she thinks is behind her current problems. Everytime I write something, I end up erasing it back to the first line, again. I have even tried writing it from his POV, but that sounds even worse. I am tempted to drop the whole scene, but it is sort of a defining moment; she's refusing to be a victim anymore, taking charge and standing her ground. And it needs to involve this guy, 'cause he is at the root of her most current issues. Grrr. It's really aggravating me. I've even been tempted to write myself a little note about what in general I am trying to convey with the scene, then move on to the next one, but my heroine isn't telling what she wants to do next. I've got two big options to choose from, but she won't pick which one she wants yet.

But, I've taken a breather to write this, and I think that instead of working on it some more tonight and just irritating myself even more, I'll just read a little bit and get away from it.... you know how it all becomes clear when you walk away and let it drop for a little while.
