The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has not only slowed us down, but also changed the way we work, live, and plan for the future. Not only for the duration of the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ), Modified ECQ, or General Community Quarantine (GCQ), but for a very long time.
The Quarantined Thoughts book project (formerly called Coronavirus Chronicles) was created to give people something to do at home during the ECQ in March 2020. Our goal is to encourage everyone to chronicle life during a pandemic and help process thoughts and feelings through writing.
Each of us has stories that deserve to be told.
This is one of the many volumes.

Both volumes have paid versions on Amazon/Kindle and Google Play. The sales from Amazon/Kindle and Google Play will be divided among the 20 authors. Each author will then have the option to donate their royalties to the ABS-CBN Pantawid ng Pag-ibig - a program of ABS-CBN that uses cash donations "to buy food and basic necessities which are then distributed to different communities in need" in the Philippines, especially those greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The author can also donate his royalties to the charity of his choice.
If you decide to buy and read the Amazon/Kindle and Google Play paid version, thank you for helping us raise funds! A little goes a long way!
