It's a skill like anything else. All you need is practice.

First, you might consider learning to type. It's not a hard skill to 
learn. Millions have mastered it. You can even buy typing tutor software 
for your computer. Get something, work with it a few months, and see if 
it helps. I taught myself to type on a manual typewriter with a typing 
book. Took about 6 weeks. Since then, it's a skill I've used virtually 
every day for the last 25 years.

Next, once you can type a bit, you need to learn to associate the CW with 
the keyboard. If you can already copy in your head, this is a lot easier. 
At first, it may seem awkward.
