Rebel stories for rebel souls...

Slow and steady, said the tortoise to the hare…..

Sooooooo, I went back and took the average of how much I was handwriting on Guardian Angel at each sitting (because I date it in the margine each time I start writing), and it comes out to about one whopping page for each day I write.  Heh.  That being said, I've got fifty pages written so far.  Not really a lot, but more than it feels like to me.  And I guess a page for each bout of writing isn't terribly bad considering I get about fifteen minutes ...

PROGRESS! In a manner of speaking…
