The Essence of Good Writing

First of all what is the summary statement that is true that makes a writer great. Please pick one.

I need a literary stylist. Style meaning: use of words and grammer, sentences flow, and artistic qualities. If he puts sentences together well I keep reading.

I need a plot master. I need an engrossing story or surprise twists. Plot meaning: the way the story is told, how the story develops, surprises, and powerful scenes.

For me I need characters as real as possible, honest, true, revealing. I want to feel that the people are real and alive, and when I come away from the book I want the character to still feel alive.

I need orginality and unique brilliance. I want a writer to do something that someone never did before. I want him to take an angle or a perspective that I haven't thought of.

I need to feel like I relate to the writer himself through what he writes, meaning, I need to empathize with him, feel his desires, imagine the person behind the writing. The more human the writer becomes the better the book is.
