Some words are carved out of air, others from fire, some drowned you in watery weeping, & others feel carved of flesh, like a blood sacrifice to the muse.

Naaaaah, the nobrainfilteritis could strike writers of the old generation, too. Some of Heinlein's later works frequently forgot about something called 'the plot' in favor of yammering about polyamory, the decay of society, libertarianism, his specific kinks, etc. for pages on end before confusedly looking at the outline and murmuring, '...You mean spanking nubile blonde teenagers ISN'T the plot?'

It's not a defect in the tools, it's just what happens when the author becomes aware that they can write any dreck they want and still sell like mad and doesn't have a particular attachment to the artistic integrity of their work. The offensive things with Mrs. Hamilton are that she's not honest about it... and that she's incapable of admitting that she is NOT in the 'they'll buy my laundry list' category any more, which drives her to insane conspiracy-theories involving 'the jealous haters'.
