I've read a lot of his original scripts for TWW, and tend to think the actors breathed life into his words. Whereas, as novelists, we have to breathe life into our own words.

I know my voice has changed over the years (hence my deep editing of my re-published novels only a few years after they were first published) but equally I know of people who have re-published older novels without any deep editing. It makes me wonder if they haven't actually 'progressed' with their writing in the meantime.

But I do think authors can perfect their voice over time. I also think an author's voice can change or go through changes as their talent grows.Debra St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154130275058459169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-85521584888399703832016-11-29T11:43:09.613-08:002016-11-29T11:43:09.613-08:00I love Aaron Sorkin and was so disappointed when h...I love Aaron Sorkin and was so disappointed when he left.

The next 3 seasons continued the story with different writers, but any TWW fan will say the first 4 seasons were much better than what followed.
