Thank you for your blog. I too can hide my stutter most of the time, but when it does show up it's loud.

I sometimes still have trouble with the phone,I'm fine if someone phones me but not so good phoning strangers, unless I'm mad about something and phoning to complain.

I read it and read it again. At one stage I swallowed back a tear, and realised what a strong, couragous and beautiful writer you are. You had me hooked, wanting to know what was this thing you hated and yet would consume you at times. This thing you managed to beat off, not till the very end did I realise, wow, that is brilliant writing.<br />On another note: I have come across a couple of stammers in my workplace over the years and well aware patience is rewarded 10fold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
