What Makes a Person?

That is something that I have asked myself for many years. Is it the time they spend with family? Is it a career? Is it how they treat each other, or is it just life itself? Pretty deep huh?
I have been, like others, working and quarantining myself from this dreaded disease. As a health care worker I know the importance of not exposing yourself unnecessarily. I can't say that this is a ordinary flu, pneumonia ect, what I do know is it's time to take it seriously. In that time I have put most of my life on hold. I have had difficulty with depression in which I suffer from. I don't like to admit it but it limits me almost to the grounding me. Along with that It effects my Fibromyalgia. I try to live my life as normal as possible but I find it difficulty sometimes.
If you aren't familiar with Fibromyalgia it is a body wide or localized pain, given the day and time, making you feel like you have the flu all the time. It has in the past put me in my bed for up to two or three days. I am hoping that isn't coming.
While I have been dealing with the news and these issues, stress can create issues and increase the effects.
With that said I am making
an attempt at writing a new novel that I hope I will be able to shop to a Literary agent. I had one shelved for a year and have decided since I can't find a home for it, I have determined to self-publish it and give it a chance if it has one at all. I love the story and it's concept. Being an author is highly competitive and it is difficulty to get a good agent and not be taken in by vanity presses who make the money and not you.
Again this is what makes a person, Courage, Strength and Perseverance to try something they have never done. I will not stop until I find the right book, the right idea and an agent who is as enthusiastic as I am about my work.
You can fine my other work on Amazon if you are in need of filling time while in quarantine. Be safe, Be cautious and I pray this will all be over soon and we can go back to our normal lives. With that, God Bless.
