I haven’t typed a single word in this story — all of it came to life through my voice. I simply spoke to my computer what I wanted written, and the words appeared on the screen with punctuation corrected and my verbal fallacies ignored, without me lifting a finger.
As a writer-journalist, I take pride in my ability to pound the keys fast enough to blur the motion without even once peeking at the keyboard. But there often comes a point when my fingers can’t keep up with the pace of my rushing thoughts. And when your profession routinely demands meeting tight deadlines, speed becomes the most important factor. And somewhere along the way, typing itself became a holdback.
