The secret of successful writing lies in striking the right keys on the typewriter.
The most important thing I learned in school was how to touch type.
I've had someone, my assistant, type for me. I've done it that way for more than 50 years because I type with one finger, although quite rapidly.
On the traditional computer keyboard, I'm a super-fast touch typist. I mastered touch typing in high school.
If you type adeptly with 10 fingers, you're typing faster than your mind is working.
I don't want to permanently damage myself! On the other hand, a couple of days off the keyboard tends to make things somewhat better.
I type 40 words per minute on a normal computer with my left foot. And with two cups of coffee, I can do 53 words per minute.
I don't type fast. I type with three fingers - two on one hand, and I only get one going on the other. I think my thumb's in there, but I'm not sure. I may be no better than an orangutan when it comes to that.
