I love how when I’m practising on my steno machine and I glance upon my CaseCAT software and I see that my WPM counter rises and rises with each stroke I make.  I was practising just now and I spotted that it went up to 200 wpm!  Of course, this counter is not at all accurate, since it’s just counting approximately how many strokes I’m making per minute and it actually might not be the actual number of words per minute.  But still, it gives my heart such a leap to know that I’m going faster and faster. =)
