It was just easier for me to learn writing after I already had a base of what they looked like in my head. I feel like many people tout RTK as the absolute best system for kanji, but I think people just need to try lots of different methods, not just one. They are all beneficial in their own unique ways, and this leads to a nice well-rounded study.

Typing it would require knowing a word it's used in, or at least one of its readings. And it would more accurately reflect how real Japanese people today "write" kanji.

I don't regret it. I don't think I will. Yo, I did it too, about 2 months after finishing RTK. I don’t regret it. I don’t think I will.

Something not falling into place, just throw it aside and spend your time doing other things. In the time you would have wasted on doing what you couldn't do, you can instead do 10 other things and by the time you come back to it, it may fall into place without any problems.
