And writing isn't just putting words down -- there's lots of other parts to it, so even when you're not writing, you're usually writing, if you know what I mean.

Sometimes you do need a break, and that's fine. But the next day, get your ass back in the chair. (less)

The writers generally work with the editor at the publishing house. The editor is the one who works with the licensor. In the case of LEVERAGE, it was with EE, and I believe that John Rogers his own self did the approvals (I know that he gave feedback on the outlines). That isn't always the case, mind you, but there's always SOMEONE at the company who owns the property who approves the material on behalf of that company.

Babylon 5 Rewatch: “Points of Departure”

Sinclair’s out, Sheridan’s in! There’s a new opening credits sequence, a new voiceover, a new star, and new, better vibe! The Babylon 5 Rewatch examines some “Points of Departure.”

An excerpt:


And, to be fair, part of it is that this is a rather exciting episode, mostly because it brings the Minbari as a current threat a bit more to the fore. In the first season, the Minbari have been

The process was the same as it is for most movie novelizations: the writer is sent a script ahead of time and writes the novel based on that. But there is always material that has to be added, as a screenplay only has about a short story's worth of c See Full Answer

The Marine heads for the door, and the sailor says, "Hey- in the Navy they teach us to wash up after we take a leak." And the Marine turns around and says, "Yeah?
