This is outright hilarious xD. I strongly agree with how typing fast is a necessary skill for writers. If you type slower than your flow, then the flow gets interrrupted. I have never taken formal typing lessons but due to all the typing I have done over the years, I can type pretty damn fast.
And regarding our education system, don't even get me started. We are taught and prodded to develop good handwriting but typing skills - bah who needs that.
Touch typing is crazy fast and super efficient. While my method of typing is fast, my fingers fatigues after an hour or so of typing and I have to constantly look at the keyboard.
Love this article overall. Keep up the good work!
