It won’t track a bunch of things, but that’s kinda the point - shift your mental... Source: almost 2 years ago

  Play zty.pe. It’s actually fairly addicting and will definitely help you improve if you do it a few times a day. Source: almost 2 years ago

• I will be honest, I can't write jack.

  Back in one of my high school computer science classes I had to do an online typing course so I'd be able to type more quickly. It was really annoying to do so, but now I'm a much faster typist than I was before. This has helped me both as a fanfic writer and professionally as a programmer. One fun typing game that doesn't make me feel like I've been pushed back to an elementary school computer course is ztype.... Source: almost 2 years ago
