i have a habit of typing without having my fingers on the homerow. i just have my hands floating and i move them around to reach the keys. can i be a good typer doing this? right now i type about 35 wpm and am 13 years old. if i continue doing this, can i be a fast typer?

I type like you type, and I get by, but I cannot type as fast as the people who learned to do it properly. Typing speeds over 100 WPM are not unknown.

well, I guess it really depends on what you are comfortable with. I personally keep my fingers on the homerow and can type between 40 and 60 wpm depending on my mood.....but I know people who type with only 2 fingers poking at the keys and seem to do pretty well. the think about homerow is that once you get the feel for it you know exactly what keys are where and you don't have to constantly look at the keyboard while you type. like I said though, it's all about personal style and what you feel most comfortable with.

sure, I never learned to type right (despite many years of teachers trying and failing). that is what i do as well. I'm not the fastest typer, but i can type fast enough for things like IM, and writing papers and stuff. if thats the way you type, do it.

I do the same thing and i type 42 wpm and I'm 14, you should type however makes you comfortable, if you keep at it, yes you will type faster.
