The road to fluency is like asking someone to call you to find your phone You know when you lost your phone at home and you ask someone to call you. You can hear its somewhere, but cant pinpoint where...

Yep. Stuttering is very mysterious. Kinda like it has a mind of it's own. Shows up more when you want to talk the most usually. I will say that my relationship with my dad isn't the best. Nothing seri...

In my experience there's a honeymoon period. You're likely still in that honeymoon period. Odds are the weed will become less and less effective at improving your fluency. Hopefully you don't find g...

Update us after 3 months, 6 months, and 12. If your fluency remains, then we have something to talk about. Bursts of fluency within short periods of time aren't out of the ordinary. Stuttering is funn...

People who stutter are people who stutter, whether it's a lot or a little or a lot before and a little now. Stuttering is often very variable and some people's stuttering reduces in life a lot and sta...

Honestly I might not have a single stutter all week but something will trigger a stuttering that will make me almost unable to complete one sentence w/o stuttering even in private with my family, whic...

Yea stuttering sure is a peculiar thing. It tends to show itself when you need to speak the most. In sort of high pressure situations where you're put on the spot or when need to say a specific words....

I will certainly strive to make sure the readers understand how difficult it is, but I think it being difficult to read, especially in my genre, simply wouldn't be allowed by editors or agents, full s...

If you’re writing a stutter to some type of pattern, aren’t you writing more about an affectation or neurosis than a stutter? Real stutters are messy, tiring, and often unpredictable.....

Including variety/unexpected moments with the stammer is something I didn't think of! I'll definitely try to sprinkle some of those moments, I think that would totally add to the realism. Thanks for t...

I appreciate you including PWS in your writing, I see how it can be a challenge making them a prominent character due to having to signify blocks somehow. Your system seems to be a good compromise if ...

I have catamenial epilepsy. Never noticed if it effects my fluency. 24-72 hrs before period I get weird, the min I get period it's like magic I feel the brain fog dissipate. I'm not a Dr and am in no ...

It is always changing so you don't get used to it I guess :D, why would the brain make it easy right?...

No one really knows much about stuttering, we don't understand it like we do other things about the human body, but there's a lot of evidence that suggests there is a genetic factor. And as you can se...

No one else in my family stutters, just me. I’ve had it since I started talking and it improved significantly in my early schooling. Sometimes it gets worse for a while, sometimes it gets better. I mo...

Hmm. Have you ever had an MRI to see if there's anything going on from that head injury? I fell off a kitchen chair backwards and hit my head on the floor when I was 2. Apparently I was fine afterwar...

Speech impediments run in my family. My dad and brother both have mild speech issues but more like slurring and breathing problems. I have an honest to God stutter that manifested after I fell down a ...

Do you notice a pattern between the times it makes your stuttering better versus the times it makes it worse? Or is it random? Do you think there are some triggers or signs that will influence which d...

Mine was on and off when I was younger and stuck around at 16-17. Had a stutter twice in elementary, once in middle and permanently stuck in high-school. Mines genetic, used to go away with speech the...

I believe its the same with me. I sometimes struggle to begin a sentence or getting out a single word. I only know what it is called in German. "Poltern" When i have a block, i just pause, take ...
