The author invents new words regularly in this article.

Stephen King's "On Writing" talks about this, and I'm paraphrasing:

"Writers who invent words are bad writers."

Which is hilarious if you've read much King (he was my favorite author for a very long time), unless he actually claims to be a bad writer himself, in which case writing a book called On Writing is a questionable endeavor.
You would think that if he did it "regularly" you could have come up with at least one example.
