" I know it takes a great deal of practice, but do you have any information on how to better accomplish fingerspelling?"
Fingerspelling is the easiest part of sign language to me. Although it did take a great deal of practice to accomplish the speed that I currently am at. Fingerspelling is a vital kinetic-visual skill and takes alot of practice and training of your fingers to get used to. I agree with the respondent in the book that you should use your signing hand as a "new voice". From personal experience if you feel confident while signing most conversations will be less complicated because you can focus on what the signer is trying to say. Also, you have to train your eyes to "see quickly" just like you have to train your hands to coordinate. I completely agree again with the text motivation is more important than dexerity and clarity is more important than speed. Sign language is complex and takes practice to accomplish a goos speed at fingerspelling.
