I love the time-travel fix-it stories in the ASOIAF fandom. Usually, it’s Sansa who gets to go back in time and try to save the world, sometimes Jon, occasionally Arya… My favorite so far is one that featured Theon instead as our do-over hero. But lately I’ve been thinking a…
Three learning Dvorak lessons are done and loaded up online now: N & O keys T & E Keys S & A Keys The non-drills are starting to feel more like real words and phrases and I’m very happy to see that I can get up near 30 wpm. I’d…
Kind of an easy day today. I’m working on those lessons and trying to figure to figure out what order to introduce the letters. I’ve been practicing word list for those letter combinations to see how quickly I can progress from words to phrases or sentences. It’s been encouraging to…
Ned Stark has second thoughts when the king finally makes it to Winterfell! I can’t believe it took me 25 chapters to get him there… it makes me wonder how long it will take to finish this story. This chapter is mostly word for word the same as the book….
I did a couple of pangram tests today. It takes me so long. I’m getting between 9 and 10 words a minute. I managed to do the last one at 12wpm. I know where all the keys are now. And that’s a good thing. My computer fell asleep while I…

I decided to try something different today and see how other people are teaching the Dvorak keyboard. Would some letter drills designed for Dvorak help me get faster? Dvorak Keyboard Training This site says, don’t do letter drills. Fine, I wasn’t. I still feel lost and their very first drill…
I skipped the review today and finished all the letter lessons. It feels good to know where all the letters are, but my wpm is only 10. And typing with Dvorak hurts my head. I have to concentrate really hard. It’s like holding a door open in my brain. Don’t…
I reviewed the first 6 lessons and did 3 more typing lessons. I am typing this with the Dvorak keyboard, but I am so slow that I look forward to the number keys because they are in the same place. And back with my old friend QWERTY. I had to…
