I hated typing class in high school. I passed with a rate of 32 words per minute when I was tested. I still type about the same. I get frustrated because the thoughts in my head are faster than the words on the screen. Throw in the typos and bad spelling and it's a train wreck. I am glad I took the class though. I don't know how any writers do it in longhand form. I guess you could agonize over each word then. I just prefer the electronic form. I learned on a typewriter. Boy did that suck. How did secretaries back in the day deal with carbons and white out. Fuck.
I picked up a couple books from the library. Two are short story collections and the other is a editing, revision manual. I read some Glimmer Train short stories last night. It was interesting seeing other writers style. I still have a lot to learn.
Still waiting.
I have heard my ex father in-law may have had another stroke. He is at the hospital. My ex-wife and mother in-law are there now too. He has had a hard road with kidney cancer and complications.
Today is my daughters Birthday. A shout out for the Big 14 "T". I love you and you are the world too me. I wish we had more time together. You rock!!!
Peace
