When I mentioned lifting your pen to stop a line as opposed to stopping the motion of your arm to end your line, I meant for it to be an option that you can try and see if you find that works better for you. The same applies to the speed you execute your lines with.
Often times students find it easier to "push through with confidence" by making their marks quickly. Later on however, you may find that varying the speed you draw your marks at might produce a better result.
So long as you abide by the ghosting method and take your time, executing your lines confidently and from the shoulder, the speed at which you draw is your choice and you should feel free to explore that and find a speed that works for you, shaky hands and all.
