If you start by thinking about something as it would go in a mundane kind of way, the writing will end up being rather mundane. However, if you allow yourself to draft a scene in it's complete extremes prior to writing the actual scene, it can give you insight on where to twist the mundane scene such that it's exciting to read, rather than feeling as though it's been cut and pasted from a romance novel.

The key example is the BDSM scene with Shizune. It's blaringly extreme and almost unbelievable, but really isn't completely outside the realm of possibility where the two characters are concerned. If you look at the completed, council room H-scene in the finished game, there are echoes of that BDSM flavor in the toned-down scene that make it vastly more interesting to read without being mundane or jarring.

Basically, what I'm saying is, that thinking about the characters in vast extremes - even writing drafts in those extremes - can improve the quality of your completed work.
