I also loved hockey and writing. Growing up as a PWS came with its share of challenges. I was bullied, mocked, doubted, and even dismissed because I had considerable difficulty speaking. These were catalysts to long-term depression, leading me to doubt myself as a successful person.\u003cbr\u003eAs an escape, I would write. While I loved writing stories and screenplays, nothing gave me more pleasure than writing about my favourite teams and players, commenting on their victories and even defeats. It wasn't until I was an adult, though, that I wanted to be a regular sportswriter. Unfortunately, due to being a PWS, I couldn't conduct phone or in-person interviews. Or so I thought.\u003cbr\u003eFor years, I had limited myself due to my stutter. However, during a dark time in my life, I decided that something needed to change.\u003cbr\u003eWith new, creative methods, I gave interviewing a try. Lo and behold, it worked. Since then, I have interviewed hundreds in the sports industry while having the privilege of covering some major events and writing for some major platforms.\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, I take you on my journey as a sportswriter who stutters. This includes some important people in my life who helped me achieve what I've always wanted to on a journey filled with its share of sadness and frustration but also perseverance and vindication.\u003cbr\u003eI hope you enjoy reading my story as much as I've enjoyed telling it.\u003cbr\u003eRead on and enjoy! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eReviews: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"ALL THE RIGHT WORDS, My Journey as a Sportswriter Who Stutters is a truly remarkable, inspirational, emotionally uplifting and humorous must read and a re-read!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGreg O'Grady, Chair of The Newfoundland and Labrador Stuttering Association and Co-host of SOME STUTTER, LUH!
