I'm going to take a risk and say you write faster than you type

I have a very hard time believing this. From some quick googling, it seems that experienced writers can do 40 wpm, which is really slow in comparison to an (even an inexperienced) typer. Also, typing has no risk of being unreadable, unlike writing (e.g. doctor's written notes).

and reaching for a pencil is quicker than launching a program.

Maybe if your computer is really slow.

An inexperienced typer might be slower than 40 wpm. I've seen people type maybe 10 words per minute using only index fingers and looking for every letter. An inexperienced touch typer is maybe 40-60 wpm range though.

I do up to around 140 wpm which many people think is lightning fast but then there's people who can do 250 and I can't even comprehend being that fast. Goddamn Sean Wrona.

Just to give some perspective.

If you have bad calligraphy, practice. Won't hurt you.
