Like I didn't feel inadequate enough already, here's this story from the Seattle Times:
"A budding novelist — and a fast typist
Adora Svitak, already a prolific writer at age 7, pauses while catching up on her writing at the Redmond Saturday Market. She has written more than 240,000 words in stories she created in less than a year. Her mom, Joyce, says she types 60 words a minute on her laptop computer and about 1,000 words a day."

Susan, you're doing an awesome job on your dissertation. Just remember, my dear, it's QUALITY not quantity that counts. I can type 70 WPM, but that's not to say that I'm not typing blah blah blah seventy times a minute.
I'm your cheerleader.
If you read through her website www.adorasvitak.com you will realize it is not just quantity this seven year old writer has, it's her amazing quality. You can see for yourself when her book "flying fingers" out by Oct 1,2005.
Seven-year-old Adora Svitak has written more than 330,000 words of stories, poems and essays in the past year. Her first book "Flying Fingers" is scheduled to be released on Oct 27, 2005. She was awarded a book contract from a prestigious publishing house in Beijing, China. Her book will be published in China early next year. [PRWEB Oct 16, 2005]
