How do you speed up your text roleplaying? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

My girlfriend is really slow at text roleplaying. It's been getting worse, and today we got mad at her because we went two hours in her game without any plot happening during a session where everyone was in voice call.

Do you have any advice for her on how to improve the pacing of her game?

Use an actual keyboard that you can touch-type on instead of a phone keyboard/learn to type? I learned to type via text roleplay in the mid-90s, did it every day for about 10 years, and I can type 160wpm on a good day. You can't even get close to that without touch-typing.

I can type 160wpm on a good day.

That'd be very fast. I mean, even without doing real-time composition.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Blackburn_%28typist%29

The Guinness Book of World Records included her speed records amongst others in the "Typing, Fastest" category of the 1976[5]–1986[6] editions, where she was listed as able to "attain a speed of 170 wpm" and "maintain 145 wpm for 55 minutes"

Blackburn was popularly recognized as the "world's fastest typist"[9][10] and made media appearances to exhibit her typing speed and the Dvorak layout, notably appearing in a 1985 episode of Late Night with David Letterman[9] and in a television commercial for the Apple IIc.[10]

That makes me feel real damn good about my consistent 90-110 on a keyboard. Over half way to the best? Fuck yeah.
