it sure feels good to feel healthy again

Doctor was right. It was the sinus infection causing my problems (there's a first time for everything, right?). Sinus infection is almost gone (three more days of horse pills), and so is the fuzziness of the brain. George (the hero of the sequel to Charley's book) is talking up a storm, I'm quilting, and getting exercise as well. I'm actually thinking about doing a garden clean-up this weekend. I do love having energy again...

I am looking for more beta readers, if anyone (well, anyone I know well enough to feel comfortable sharing my so-far-unpublished book with, anyway [g]) is interested in reading a historical adventure novel with a bit of fantasy and a romantic thread. Be forewarned, it is 700+ pages, and be doubly forewarned, it'll have to be read on your computer, as I am not up to sending print copies via snail mail.

I do thank those of you who have volunteered already.

Oh, and I don't know if it's going to do much good, but my local community college is offering some interesting continuing education classes this fall. One is titled, "How to Sell Your Novel." It can't hurt, right???

What are your five favorite canonical friendships?

1. Ramses and David (Elizabeth Peters)
2. Miles and Ivan (Lois McMaster Bujold) -- esp. after the former learns to appreciate the latter
3. Merry and Pippin (J.R.R. Tolkien)
4. Anne and Diana (L.M. Montgomery)
5. (sorry fajrdrako but you are so right) Hamlet and Horatio (Shakespeare)

This was a lot harder than I thought it would be, because I tend to look for romantic relationships rather than platonic friendships in my fiction.

I know I wouldn't be able to narrow favorite canonical romantic relationships down to just five.
