I tried on this

Typing test otherwise I like a mac app for typing and practice. Since, I write articles I need to use the keyboard correctly not just with 2 fingers🤣.

Ehh it's fine man. At least I am not that one guy who does 400 wpm. Now that is actually crazy. I think you will be fine. At least you don't have OCD like me where I type a whole sentence just to delete it and retyping it again 🫠

What 400 WPM is that even real. I only heard about finger keyboard that enhances typing speed but 400 is way out of league. I think that's the secret to your heavy WPM. Typing deleting then practicing. Let's make this a monthly battle if you enjoy typing and do you do that when you coding as well? I think we should start typing with nose and then compete with each other then it will be fair for both 😂.

Good luck. Sometimes Hardest part on writing is starting. More you type faster you can go.

Thank you so much Chris. Any tip you wanna provide for a beginner writer like me? What you feel quality is better than quantity in terms of writing?

You have to do quantity before you get quality. Everyone's early writing is bad, which is fine cause no one's reading them at that time. But you get better as you write.

There's a game called Z-type. That might help. It's like space invader or Galaga, where you shoot alien ships. But the aliens are word and you have to type that word to shoot the ship.
