“Hands on home keys. Eyes on book. Ready. Type.” It was 1980. I was a 14-year-old high school freshman and I was struggling to type a letter on an electric typewriter without looking at the page. Most of the other people in the class were juniors and seniors. I had decided to take the class early to get out of taking a foreign language. I had enough trouble with English and learning French or Spanish seemed a lot more difficult than learning to type. I was regretting my decision, though, as I struggled to touch-type without looking at the keys. I didn’t really see myself ever using a typewriter again after the term was over.
30 years had passed. My wife and I had bought our first computer. I wrote my stories by hand for a long time but decided to try typing one out instead. Amazingly, my hands went automatically to the home keys and I began to write. Like riding a bike my body remembered how to type after all of these years. Soon I was not only writing stories on my computer but sending them out on the Internet as well. Once I had been able to touch hundreds of readers of our local paper, and now I was able to touch thousands of readers all over the world. It was such a blessing and I thanked God for it.
