Yup.  Like the old joke, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?"  Practice!

I also suspect age has a lot to do with it.  I was licensed at 12.  Upgraded
at 13, but couldn't afford a SSB radio for 2-3 years, so did CW only.  Found
the QRQ guys (in the early 70s) at the low end of 40 CW and programs were
available, I found I hit a wall at ~100 WPM, despite practice.  Other than
contesting, I really haven't been active for the last 5-10 years and my
speed has significantly dropped.
