Thank you so much for articulating the magic about CW.
As a teen I tried to learn Morse Code and never was able to get very far. With Morse as a condition for getting a license, I never thought about getting a Ham License although I was very heavy into electronics and got my First Class Radiotelephone License. (To show my age, the testing only had one transistor question; all the rest were tubes.)
When I discovered that Morse Code had been removed as a requirement (2014 or so) I began studying for my tests and made Extra within a few months.
I have K3S that I am about to put on the air, on SSB to begin because that is what I currently understand.
I have had CW recommended, but am unwilling to repeat the head banging experience I went through 50+ years ago.
Now that I've given the history, my question to those of you who are gung-ho on CW is; how did you begin the learning process? Is there some secret that I missed?
