I am looking to start getting into this. But I have never enjoyed writing. I also feel a little iffy knowing that my diaries are sitting around somewhere in my room and my family can find it at any moment. If I were to type it would be faster, more secure as I can encrypt it, and it would not get lost as easily as I can upload the encrypted file to a cloud.

However, is typing any less effective at making you feel better than writing?

    That’s cool! Is it a cipher you developed yourself? How long did it take you to become proficient?

      Yes it’s personally made and I’d say it took maybe 4-5 weeks before I was able to write as easily as I can normally but even before that it wasnt hard. You just have to write slower as you’re learning. I started practicing it whenever I could. Even my grocery lists are written that way, lol
