The difference of effect between a writer who has written a peice of literature and a person reading it. The writer may believe their creation is much longer, more emotional, or interesting while none of these things have transferred into the acuall writing. Writers who forget to apply "writer factor" to their work usually end up making action too blunt, descriptions too short or include things that just dont make sense.
Writer factor, time wise, is aproximetly half an hour of writing to twenty seconds of reading, 45 minutes research to one interesting fact, and two days depression to a single tear.
Writers factor includes any type of writing, including scripts, poetry and even band names.
