Neil Gaiman is a Writer. Even when he's not writing for publication, he still Writes, because that's what he does. It comes naturally, and to stop doing that would be like ceasing to breathe. His blog is fascinating, and even shopping list would likely be entertaining to read.
LKH is a 'writer'. It doesn't come naturally, she has to 'work' at it, and she doesn't bother with it when she's not writing for publication. This is why the quality of the books has declined. She used to work at the early ones to make up for what didn't flow naturally. Now, she's cocky. She's had bestsellers, has fans who will hand over cash on demand, so she doesn't need to work at it anymore. Thus, she produces drivel.
