[CW] Copying CW

[Bill Brannick]

First .. let me say I am new to this list and I suspect this subject may 
have already been discussed more then once. My apologies.. if that be the case.

I have always found that a limiting factor for me in copying CW is my 
inability to write fast enough.  I can copy CW around 13-15 WPM , but I 
sure cannot write that fast.  I passed the 13 WPM  test several years ago 
and probably was lucky to sort out enough key words to pass that test.

I would like to "validate" my current Extra Class License by increasing my 
code speed to at least 20 WPM but I just can't get that pencil to move 
quickly enough and once I get behind.. concentration goes "out the window".

One BIG issue is that, a number of year ago, I took a engineering drawing 
class and got into the habit of printing everything.. Now.. when I try to 
write something in longhand (script).. there are some letters that I cannot 
even form in a legible way.. Maybe I need to go back and repeat the 3rd 
grade......(60 years later)

Could it be that I will just have to accept the fact that 10 WPM or so is 
my limit???

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
