Most of them, yeah, Fay.
But children's or young adult novels can be (and often are) much shorter, maybe 50K or 60K.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I'm aiming for about 90k, so that's cool.
(Have had writer's block for ages, and so put novel on backburner again. But have recently had an 'aha!' moment, and am now writing manically.)

Heard back from Nice Agent Lady. She says she's looking forward to digging into my proposal, but that it's going to be about three weeks before she can get to it, because this is the season of trade shows and writers conferences in the publishing industry. (Which, actually, I should have remembered.)
So! She's looking forward to it, yay! Three weeks, argh argh argh!
