According to my reviews (she said, sounding a bit pretentious!), it's world-building and character development. ;)
Seriously, though, I think my real strength as a writer is my ability to write what is requested of me, and write it well on a deadline. Even in first year of Uni, I was very good at handing in a B+ paper that I had written that morning! Now, I turn in drafts with a bit more work behind them, but when my editor says something like "I need 18K of world-building, covering these six ideas in a week", I can do it, and it doesn't suck.
It does require a lot of coffee and chocolate sometimes, though. :)
