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: “Objects at Rest”

The endless denouement continues, as Sheridan and Delenn leave B5 and the character assassination of Lennier is completed. The Babylon 5 Rewatch looks at “Objects at Rest.”

An excerpt:

Seriously, it’s epilogue after epilogue after epilogue, and it’s really getting wearing. This episode at least has some excitement with the coolant leak, but it’s ruined by the continued character assassination

“Dean, you've been to Hell, I started the Apocalypse, and we're supposed to be possessed by an archangel and the devil. Now you're being skeptical?”
Keith R. A. DeCandido, Heart of the Dragon

“Dad had this story. A Marine and a Navy guy walk into a bathroom together. They both take a piss, and then sailor goes to the sink. 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? Well, in the Marines they teach us not to piss on our hands.”
Keith R.A. DeCandido, Nevermore

“What kind of a house doesn't have salt? Low sodium freaks!”
