81K. Whew. I wrote about poison frogs today and at this exact moment I am very pleased. The frog scene works great and did what I wanted plus more. Probably tomorrow I will read it and sigh, but all will be fixable. So I think I have only one outright sucky chapter which I will work on tomorrow. Then, I'll start working on bringing in the details and tying up loose ends. Right now I'm working on the synopsis again. So, I may be able to send the MS to my agent and to a courageous reader or two by end of March.

Yes, I am savoring this moment.
