Ahh, yes I've been to uni too. It's not gotten me much faster at writing large amounts of text. But I do have to agree it's become very easy.
Isn't this more of a lack of energy rather than time? Or perhaps just lazyness?
I suppose that depends on one's writing process.
For my part, I usually end up deleting needless words or clichés on a second pass.
My fine motor control just isn't there for super fast writing
I guess you get some thoughtfulness and economy of words kind of for free them. Reminds me of how (I think it was him) Edgar Allan Poe would write with slow-to-dry ink, so he would have to take his time when writing.
That's a win at a loss I suppose
