6.25

     I got up to 300 wpm on my minute yesterday.  I had no idea I was going that fast, though.  It felt exactly the same as when I was only going at 175 wpm.  Today I got up to 300 twice, and one of those times was when I wrote the entire minute, at 95% accuracy!  It took me exactly one week to get it, which is about how long it’s supposed to take me to get a new minute at practice speed.  The minute had 223 words, too, so it’s not like it was a slow part of the piece or anything.

     I decided that now was the best time to go back and figure out which drill I missed.  For some reason I thought I couldn’t do the KN- drill, so I knew which one that was, and I noticed I was on the wrong number about 19 drills later, so that’s only 20 drills I have to do over again.  I’ve done eight so far, and I’ve improved on all of them, although not enough to help my average.  After a week of re-doing drills, I’ve only gone from 115 to 116.
