His social media highly suggests it's the latter. He talks about the books he wrote in his head rather than what's on the page.

I had a feeling. It's a lot easier to write someone off as just cynical and greedy when they're rich and also mediocre, but my philosophy is never to put down to malice what you can put down to incompetence, because the latter is way, way more common, most likely because of the simple fact that it takes less effort.

Wow Epistler, I can relate to you about struggling with writing so much now. I like my stories. However I'm really having trouble with them.

I know what you mean, groan. People talk about how you should treat writing like a job and all that, but the fact remains that if you're not in the right headspace it becomes that much harder, or even downright impossible. You either don't have the mental energy to produce, or just plain don't care enough to even try any more.
