I mean... it sounds to me like you've succeeded. :) The idea that you need to succeed _more_ doesn't have to have anything to do with stuttering. - There's this thing we tend to do, where we try to...

I think you have to think about why it's relevant to write about your stutter at all. (I'm not being dismissive, I actually mean WHY). You need to tie it into the larger story of who you are and/or wh...

Just had a meeting for work. Could barely say anything. Asked our AE to read what I wrote. I feel terrible and stupid, and above everything I hate that I feel like it. I want to punch myself every time such things happen. I just hate it & myself. I'm so angry. I can't do this for the rest of my life
