797 words and I’m getting loopy.

That’s approximately the word count.  Didn’t quite hit the 1,000 goal, but I’m getting to that part of the night when I get REALLY loopy and REALLY tired, so I’m having trouble writing coherent sentences.  Time to let the goal rest for the next time…

You know, I’ve wanted for a long time to wait until I get really loopy and write a paper.  It would be really funny to read!  And the grade would probably be pretty bad.

I was thinking today that perhaps I need someone to read what I’ve got so far and give me encouragement to keep going.  Kind of like what Aneeka told me she did with her sister.  Except, of course, I don’t want to groom anyone to praise me, I want it to be sincere out of themselves (not that it wasn’t with Aneeka).  I dunno, though.  The novel is approaching 250 pages (double spaced) and 75,000 words, so I hope it’s not too long.  Maybe I can snag one of my freshman friends from Quark…

…and, I’m sorry, but I’m getting really loopy and tired.  Must sleep!  Goodinght.
