One really good thing to come out of the India trip is that I had a day in the hotel with nothing to do, so I wrote 5500 words on the sequel to Winterling, which is about 5500 more words than I had before. Then I wrote another 500 words while half-asleep on the plane ride home. As I told ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=1){kind=small}
rj_anderson on Twitter the other day, sometimes I write better and faster when I’m wiped out exhausted because the internal editor switches off.
Hrm. Maybe I need more days in hotels with nothing to do...
#stephanieburgis and psamphire have a lovely holiday present for you, the http://www.decemberlightsproject.com/. Here you can read "free stories that make us laugh and feel good even in the depths of winter." My story "Jane: A Story of Magic, Manners, and Romance" went up last week. As a note, there is smooching in this story, but it’s okay for young readers, too. If you’re a Jane Austen fan, let me know if you catch the JA references. Heh.

This year J and I are sending out this holiday card, and we’re trying to come up with a good greeting. J wants something boring, like Wishing you joy or Peace on earth.
I’m thinking of something else, more like
The galaxy is a cold dark place. Merry Christmas.
Or
The universe doesn’t care if you get coal in your stocking.
Or maybe
Entropy 1, Santa 0 (which is a reference to my favorite Christmas story .)
What, you’ve got a better one?
