Steno Perfection
“Perfection is the ultimate addiction.” -Janice Dickinson
I believe that most stenographers are perfectionists. After all, what other type of personality would dedicate so many hours to mastering a skill that requires so much precision.
In our quest for flawless writing, we must remember not to be too hard on ourselves. The fun is in the journey.
Love, Speed, and Accuracy,
