Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

As boring as it may seem, writers should work on their typing skills.

I found a web site today that I will visit frequently for a while:

TypingClub.com

Yes, that is it. A website that let’s me work on my typing skills. And what wonderful thing does that have to do with writing? Two questions:

1. How long does it take to write a page of that novel or non-fiction business or engineering book?
2. Would it make any difference in your writing life if you could write two pages instead of one in the same amount of time?

The answer to number 1 really doesn’t matter. The answer to number 2 is, “Yes, of course.”

Hence, work on your touch typing. Double your typing speed. Improve your life.
