What always stands out to me in bad writing is excessive numbers of characters who exist to do nothing, and very nuts and bolts descriptions of things that leave you with absolutely no mental image of the scene. Don't know if that helps at all.
Also, I guess just bad flow. You want the words to flow nicely, like poetry, but not poetry. You don't want to feel like you're reading a technical manual.
