Things I daydream about when I am supposed to be revising:

~Staying at Ballynahinch Castle when my husband and I visit Ireland this fall. I was a goner as soon as I read this article that included the phrase “Ballynahinch feels like the bustling center of a mysterious forest straight out of Tolkien.”

~Spending long luxurious days reading all the books in my to-read pile. I just started A Spy in the House by Y. S. Lee and I just want to curl up in my comfy chair with a cup of tea and READ IT ALL RIGHT NOW. I’m aslo listening to The Golem’s Eye, book 2 in the Bartimaeus series by Jonathan Stroud, and enjoying it even more than the first. Less Nathanial, more Bartimaeus and Kitty, and Prague!

~Visiting Boston at the end of the month to see Cirque du Soleil’s OVO, visit friends, and hopefully eat lots of tasty food. The Cirque du Soleil has been a big visual influence on Circus Galacticus and it has been at least 15 years since I saw one of their shows live. The costumes! The music! The acrobatics! Can’t. Wait.

~Fresh tomato bruschetta. I really need to get to the farmer’s market and pick up some tasty heirloom tomatoes and good bread. Mmmmm….

What are you daydreaming of?
