I honestly wish i could give you an answer or solution but I am in the same boat. I wanted to become a journalist when I was young but my dream was crushed when I figured out I had poor communication skills manly due to my stuttering. This poor communication also affected my writing because I wrote the same way I spoke. (Some quick background I was very antisocial growing up because I was ashamed of stuttering). At this present moment I am trying to over come this with the mentality of I shouldn't care of what other think. But it's easier said than done. Hopefully knowing that others are in your same boat will make you feel better (crossing fingers)
