I don't think 40 words per minute is too low. Olujay here started with less than 10 words per minute, and with intentionality and consistency, he boosted to 80 words per minute that same year.
@initshar, I believe you can get better with time. Try touch-typing exercises, play games, and blog about your progress and how you feel in this community.
I need to practice more and more to improve the timing and I will try my best. I am just inspired and obviously, I will share about it here. I am inspired to hear his progress and I am sure I will also progress. It's time to take the thing seriously.
That's exactly more like it. You see how much support your getting now? That's exactly what this community is for—to help us encourage ourselves.
