My speed and spelling are horrible when it comes to keyboards. I have tried a few typing programs, but I find them quite boring (not to mention expensive).
So, any advice on how I can improve my typing? It’s an essential skill since I write stories.

Online gaming. There is nothing that makes you type faster than having to hit 60 different keys and type messages to allies all at the same time.
Few weeks playing online games like Diablo 2 or WOW, and your typing will skyrocket.
Continue with the classes. They may be boring, but you won’t improve without at least some instruction—and a lot of practice.
Invest in a natural keyboard like this one. The keyboard itself is ergonomic, allowing your hands to relax over the keys. Also helpful is that the layout is split in half, so your brain winds up learning which hand corresponds with which letters much quicker than with standard keyboards.
