: Re: Is touch typing skill important for being a good writer? Yes, I know - it is important. But my question is: does it influence the speed only? Do "two finger typing" and "peek typing" eat

I learnt to touch type about 6 months ago after my wife pointed out that although I was a fast typist, half of the time, I was actually hitting backspace to correct a typo. So actually I was quite a slow typist.

Now that I can touch type, I realise that my poor typing skills before were having a small impact on my creative writing. It was like I was writing in short stutters rather than a steady stream.

I'd recommend you learn. If it doesn't make any difference to your writing life, it's still a useful skill to have.
