My fingers are not as fast as my brain - which isn't that much to type home about anyway.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I write, my brain moves faster than my hands so I'm always trying to picture things.
I often write in pencil on paper and then type up later. It's much quicker than using a keyboard.
I'm the slowest reader in the world, because I perform it all in my head.
At least half my writing time is spent researching. So for every hour I'm actually clicking on the keyboard, I'm spending another hour trying to figure out some tiny detail I need answered.
I'm really fortunate that I type 120 words a minute.
Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.
I don't write directly on to the computer because I don't think well facing forward with fingers on a keyboard. I think better looking down holding a pen. And the concentration quotient of pen and paper is higher than when I'm moving words around on screen.
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 type even faster than I talk. I'm very proud of that. I type so fast. And I have to because the characters are living in real time and I've got to keep up with them. It's a miracle they even give me a royalty.
As soon as I began, it seemed impossible to write fast enough - I wrote faster than I would write a letter - two thousand to three thousand words in a morning, and I cannot help it.
