Really, it's probably and ultimately just a marketing ploy by Staples to sell Kindles and Nooks. But if this is the real life (or is this just fantasy ;)) thing, then I have no idea on earth why you writers out there aren't asking me to beta-read your shit.
Just saying.
that is a load of words in a minute, I think I tick along at maybe 200 a minute and type at a rate of about three a munite.
ReplyDeleteCan you please beta-read my shit?
ReplyDeleteThanks! (;
I use to read pretty fast but not so much now days...........
ReplyDeleteI used to read a lot faster than I can now - well, I can still READ fast, but I don't remember much of it! I got 409 on my first go and 661 on the second.
ReplyDeleteYou beat me, but only by a few words. I'm a big scanner, and tend to miss important parts of books, haha. Oh well. Hey, hope all has been going good with you, ms. mollie!
ReplyDeleteI knew you would beat me.. heck, I've watched you. I'm only 367 wpm..
ReplyDeleteThat's really damn good though! Put yourself in thirdworldsuccesskid's shoes (or bare feet, rather)...you kick ass!
