In Dylan B. Dryer’s “Writing is not Natural” he explains that sometimes people see writing and speech as the same.

We can try and replicate our speech in writing but it does not have the same effect. Writers tend to criticize themselves too harshly because they want it to sound like speech and be perfect.
