1. Small World. Today I traveled via hot air balloon to Victoria Island, where I drank hot tea and ate scones with Jane Austen. After we decided to co-write First Impressions, we took a turn through the Butchart Gardens, and I left her writing in a gazebo. I zipped over to Chicago in enough time to commission the new exhibit I donated to the Field Museum–twin woolly mammoths that have been in my family for years. I wrapped up the evening over dinner with friends on the stage of the Paris Opera House. I had pasta and chocolate cheesecake. It was lovely.
2. Talents. Also I read five-thousand-pages’ worth of all the books that I’ve been meaning to read for ages. I’ve also become fluent in several languages overnight. Scientists are giving me lots of money to figure out how I did it. But it’s a secret. If you want anything translated into Basque or Tagalog, let me know.And I finally wrote The Novel that I’ve been thinking about for a year. It’s been bought by a certain publisher for a several million dollar advance. I’m working on the sequel. It’ll be done tomorrow.
3. Oh, Ferret. Lastly, I taught Anastasia to leap through flaming circles and dance on her hind legs. She will pick the pockets of all the spectators and we will run away into the sunset. She will be going into business under the name of The Wallet Thief Extraordinaire.
