You only need 1 backtrack if you do the dots and crosses after you've written the word

That’s addresses in the blog post:

> One way to remove backtracking is to lift the pen immediately instead of waiting until the end of the word, as if doing italic calligraphy. Pen lifts alleviate the mental queue problem and give a chance to readjust the palm, but they break the writing flow.

Right, but multiply that by half the total number of words, and it's a lot.
