8.11

     I finished my whole entire piece on Tuesday.  It only took five weeks, which is good, and much better than the 14 weeks I spent on the one before it.  Unfortunately, it was the last one that RTC labeled as 220 wpm, so now I have to move up to 225.  That wouldn’t be so bad except that the first piece at "225" is actually 250 wpm for the first minute. :(   

     I’ve been working on it for a couple of days, and I’m not ready to give up yet, but it’s definitely difficult.  I actually hit 214 at the end of it today.  I misstroked "windowsills," and what I actually wrote was "vindowsills." TM translated it to "veindo Simms."
