It may be entertaining to watch, but it works… I was starting on a book late last year and began wondering if there was a way to cut down on the typing-related wear and tear, as well as a way to possibly go a little faster if I’m going to hit one million words this year I need to either work on my technique, hire a typist or stay on the keyboards for twice as long and hope carpal tunnel doesn’t come knocking. I never learned how to type properly, but I can move along at a pretty quick pace pecking away using a few fingers and thumbs in a style that makes trained typists cringe. Primarily three different keyboards, in my case. The common element in all of these words has been a keyboard. A quick look at the output from last year comes in at over 500,000 words in paid content and that doesn’t count rough drafts, countless e-mails, pitches, notes and casual writing. I’ve been writing quite a bit in recent years, especially in the past two years as I’ve transitioned from part time to full time writing.
