Don’t ask why, but I was watching a V*ush vid and he was seriously looking down at the keyboard while typing. I was shocked that someone his age couldn’t type on a keyboard without looking at it. I get that boomer types don’t know how to type, but younger people? Wtf

I honestly think that learning how to touch type was the most useful thing I have ever learned if I consider the investment/payoff ratio. It’s seriously trivial in time investment 1-2 weeks 30-60 mins a day and that’s it. Learning it is also basically playing a rhythm video game as well so I would say it’s even pretty fun. Touch typing in comparison has probably saved me like hundreds if not thousands of hours, but the payoff would depend on how much typing you do. I honestly wondered why I had no touch typing in high school considering how useful it is.

Welcome to c/writing!

This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.

This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!

Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.

All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.
