Magnum Steno

[Erica Abbott]

Hello everyone! Hope this month is going well for you all. I have been kind of slowed down because of the Holiday season. It happens every year.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had advice on the magnum steno. I know this has been kind of tossed back and forth on here, but I would like to know if anyone has the book. It is extremely expensive, but I am also extremely interested;) I have only been working for two years in January, but I want to be better. I also was curious if anyone has been doing the magnum steno club and actually seeing improvements, etc.

So I guess my questions are; is it worth the money to buy the book? What does it actually have in there? How is the monthly steno club, and is anyone seeing improvements??

I truly thank you all for any information. It frustrates me to not be better and spend hours editing jobs, and I just want to be better and feel better about myself as a reporter (maybe that I don't suck;).

Ooooh that would be fun!!! I would love to have a chance to meet after the holidays! I don't know if I could use the * key. That is actually something I can say I am "afraid" of. lol. I will send you an email probably the beginning of next week and maybe we could figure something out:)

Erica,

That asterisk key will open a new steno world for you.

I agree. Start w/some little defines w/it and add it slowly. It is easy for me now. One thing I did was:
AOEU*D for I do.....since ours w/out it is I did. ALL 'did' phrases I add the * for 'do'! SO FUN!!!
