Given that it's not my native language... I guess that's alright (I guess my English typing skills got better since I write my novel in English this year.) 118 in German, my native language. Far better than the last time I did this :D (last time I only typed 105 wpm) Also, only a few mistakes. Writing fast without typos is actually what I'm striving for. Took me a long way to get there, though. Also, sentences that actually make sense are easier for me to type since that's what I'm used to. /: Fri, 18 Nov 2011 03:53:49 -0700 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/helpful-resources-sites/threads/4614?page=8#forum_thread_comment_751779 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/helpful-resources-sites/threads/4614?page=8#forum_thread_comment_751779 idle-dream 93wpm Fri, 18 Nov 2011 07:04:43 -0700 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/helpful-resources-sites/threads/4614?page=8#forum_thread_comment_752710 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/helpful-resources-sites/threads/4614?page=8#forum_thread_comment_752710 Cinderpaw I type with just two fingers, so I got 31 WPM.

So when I'm actually writing something, it totals out to be about 15 wpm, lol.

That made me happy. I agree with Cindy, it was harder to type because I already know what I want to type when I'm writing. One thing I have noticed though, when I construct the sentence in my mind, my mind works faster than my fingers and I'll start typing something now, when I actually need to type it a few words away, so I end up making more mistakes. This test was slightly easier because I just had to type what they showed me.

The second/third times I got 61wpm and 58wpm. I /think/ I'm naturally a bit faster than that, but I only recently got this netbook and the keyboard's tiny! So I'm not exactly used to using it yet. (I also found it harder to type random words instead of actually typing out complete, coherent sentences) Tue, 21 Feb 2012 19:07:45 -0700 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/helpful-resources-sites/threads/4614?page=9#forum_thread_comment_1160385 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/helpful-resources-sites/threads/4614?page=9#forum_thread_comment_1160385 Harlow 98 WPM.

Eh. I'd probably be faster if I took the same test on a bigger keyboard, but I'm sure I'm way slower when I'm thinking up and typing out a story instead of just a list of random words.
