Yes, but what you're describing is how things should be. It's okay for a fictional character to begin the story with flaws, so long as the narrative is aware and they experience growth. Fiction isn't ...

Thanks for pointing this out. This is the exact opposite of what I was trying to convey. This is being written for ~10 year olds, so I need to speak in their language. I'll update it appropriately ba...

Well since you offered... Expect to hear more from me! I'm unpublished and about about 80k words deep into this YA novel. My goal is to be published and this is the first of a series (although the s...

Great! This is exactly the type of feedback I want to hear! I don't want to over emphasize anything, but I want to do the condition justice, and I want to do it respectfully. I want this to be a chara...

I don't really think it matters who the thought is coming from. It still gives the impression that Monty has to disregard stuttering in order to like Julio. It suggests that it would be an acceptabl...

Totally stealth here and in my 50's. Life's lessons :)...

Yeah, I really like your first point. This particular type of stutter ("M-m-maybe") is very well represented in pop culture. It'd be really great to see other types of disfluencies depicted. I also ...

my flavor of stutter is not particularly covert-friendly - it becomes fairly obvious after a couple of sentences. When meeting someone new it's sometimes funny to observe their faces become stained at...

This might be true for some people. However, it's not a group phenomenon. There is not a consistent set of speech sounds people are more likely to stutter on. For some people it's /s/ other's it's /b/...

So if you want to characterize stuttering correctly here's a list of things to note about stuttering. 1) Right now I only see speech sound repetitions. However, there are other types of disfluencies....

As a writer, avid reader, and stutterer, here are a few things that will *always* annoy me about characters who stutter. - M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-maybe, just m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-maybe, take it easy on t...

I'd say i'm covert, but often is my cover blown and just kind of makes it worse...

How many people here are covert stutterers, and how many are more open to others about your stutter?

How many people here are covert stutterers, and how many are more open to others about your stutter? Covert in the sense that most people you interact with do not know you have a stutter. I'd like to...

First, I think having the character having a stutter, but not having it as his defining characteristic is a great idea and will make for an interesting character. I think he should stutter less durin...

Seems pretty good! Just remember that most people stutter on words that start with "S", like (ironically) "stutter". Also longer words is some harder, i think very few people sutter on words like "im"...
