I might try a week's worth of an extended story. I liked the weekend freewrite (mainly because it gave me more time).

re: verbal vomit

I've written like that, too, and I've written where every sentence is a struggle. With the freewrite, you tend more to the former, just because there's no time to over think it.

Well, maybe if I give it time, my typing will increase, too. I think some of it is ergonomics, so I probably should just go ahead and get that new adjustable desk with chair I've been eyeing for months. Might help my wrists and shoulders too.
