I found this article and I loved the advice:

Spoiler Alert!
1. Happy people in a happy land (no tension)
2. A world where the characters have no worry (no tension, again)
3 Marshmallow dialog (Dialog and conversation isn't the same thing. Conversation can get boring, meandering, and have no point; dialog shouldn't be any of that)
4. Predictability (Surprise your reader in every scene. They are there to be entertained)
5. Lost love (You're darn sick of a long project and it shows in your writing)
I fight Marshmallow dialog. Every exchange I write probably has ten drafts.
Also, I've dealt with the Lost Love thing on a couple of novels I wrote. The only fix I've ever found for that was putting it down for an extended period of time.
This article helped me; I hope it helps you too!
