I love to write. I do. Writing has been a fantastic outlet for me in the past which I reflect on from time to time. When I was learning to use a keyboard back in my younger years, I never learned home row. I just didn’t. Learning home row was not a practical approach to typing for me. I had to learn my own way. You see, during high school I took computer classes, just because I love computers. The classes were designed to teach basic computer use, and of course we used one of those fancy ‘Learn to type’ programs which have you place your fingers on home row. I loved breezing through this software, finishing my tasks first, and on time. Without using home row. Mind you, my typing is not far from home row. I don’t type each key while looking at it, bringing my finger from above my head to slam onto the keyboard. I type, and I type fast enough.
Writing is a very important factor in the business place. Sometimes you don’t really realize how much writing you do. Documentation, technical documents, memos, emails, presentations, letters; all these things you can eventually find yourself doing within the workplace. If there is one thing I hate, it’s poor writing. So I strive to ensure what I write is good.
So what is this all amounting up to?
