You're not going to get any here.
Sure, I'll cite someone else's work from time to time, but that's usually when an important point needs to be made. It quite effective in this position.
But other than that, I write only when I feel truly inspired to do so.
I could write fluff stories about things happening every day, but what's the point of that?
Everyone knows what's going on with Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. I'm not going to sit here and bore you to death with things that are being rehashed and rehashed on a constant basis.
I like to keep things interesting.
I have other responsibilities to attend to. I write when I have the time and energy.
Writing is not my top priority.
I'm not a stenographer or kid sitting in at the meeting with a notepad in the corner anymore.
I'm seated in a leather chair at the table.
Yes, my job has changed.
I'll still do my best to keep you informed on major developments, but not day-to-day "fluff."
In the meantime, let me do my thing the way I've been doing my thing.
It's been working, no?
It's more effective to tell a story or get a point across rather than saying it outright sometimes.
You're bright people.
I'm sure you've figured that out.
Most writers only have one job.
I'm sure you've also figured out that other people get to worry about nothing but writing and research.
I'm stretched in 14 different directions.
That's it in a nutshell.
Writing is not my top priority, but I'll have goodies for you every now and then.
