  Too Much, Needs, Students

• Something I always tell students is, when you're writing something, you want to write the first draft and you want it to come out easily in the beginning.

And that same thing happens when you write.

• Something I always tell students is, when you're writing something, you want to write the first draft and you want it to come out easily in the beginning. If you're afraid to say what you really have to say, you stammer. When you're thinking of your listener, that's when you start stuttering and it's just because you're nervous that your listener is passing judgment.
