It's exercise. Training. If you can, for a time, make yourself not worry so much over every word in every sentence, you can practice getting the feel for larger-scale structure and character personality building and such. DIfferently put, when you don't care so much about every leaf of every branch of every tree it's easier to get a feel for what the forest is like.
