At work one time I sat in the cube next to a guy who could type so fast that you couldn't even hear the individual key-clicks. It was just like a rippling purring sound, kind of like when we used to put baseball cards in the spokes of our bikes and ride real fast.
I've always thought that I'd write better if I could type faster, especially if I could type as fast as I could think, like that guy seemed to do, but now I'm not so sure. I think now that maybe my fingers are a little faster than my brain.
Which is faster with you? The speed at which you think up the words to set down, or the time it takes you to type them out? Brain or fingers?
And, for those who write longhand as well as keyboard, do you see a difference in your style when you use one or the other? I don't write longhand much, but when I do, I think my sentences are more thought-out. Do you think it makes a difference?
