Before the presence of modern use of writing, known as typing, hands were the maker of everything and still is after the invention of modern equipment to help ease the work.
I love writing. Before I started typing on my device, I was more content writing them out. My pen and book were my besties, and I know they cherish me as I do them. And it was the same thing I did when I joined the Web 3 world. Though I started using my phone at a younger age and once had a laptop, I never stopped writing with my pen. It was addicting. The smell of books does miracles to the senses.
However, looking back, I must confess that things have changed. I don't know how or even when it happened. I can't remember the last time I picked up a pen to write on a book, and just after saying this, I am craving to put my hands on a pen again.
But then, after seeing a community where I can showcase and also improve my typing skills, I decided to give it a go. I once read @olujay post via dreemport and ever since then, I have had it in mind to try improving my typing skills so today, I took the bull by it horn and used one of the link he shared typingtest to start my typing journey in the community.
When I clicked on the link embedded in his post, I was directed here, and from there, I began.
I chose the option to take the typing test for a minute, and below it is the medium text to go. After clicking on it, I was directed here, where I took my first baby step towards typing. This does remind me of Mavis Beacon. Not having a laptop again is making me teary right now. Well, in a good way.
This is my first time using the typetest, and I am already liking it. The story line given is very inviting that I found myself reading along while I typed, and well, there was a timer for 1 minute at the top right corner and then the time elapsed, which brought a stop to the interesting piece I was reading. It was quite painful, though.
It was a story about a man who was falsely imprisoned for 10 years and how he studied law to prove his innocence, which he won, and then, he became a lawyer later to help others too. It is an interesting storyline, and I would have loved to get the ending part and also the middle of cos.
After the test, my typing speed, accuracy, and net speed were put on display, and I know I can do better.
So, I decided to go for the easy typing test, which gave me another amazing story of soldiers and chocolates. It is another interesting piece which I liked even more.
After the given selected time elapsed, I was given the result.
Just the few minutes I spent typing was special. It was like it had been eagerly waiting for my return, which makes me believe this is a start to something beautiful, and I know I can improve more. So, I'll add this on my list to practice and also share the improvements made.
I saw that there were some other juicy options apart from typing, and I will sure give them a try too. One, step at a tab, and I'll get there.
Other images shared are screenshots from my phone.
Still yours truly,
Balikis.
Thanks for reading.
Peace be unto those who crave it and more to those who chase it away.
