It was the summer of 2020. We were three months into our first COVID-19 lockdown and, like many others, were struggling with the emotional challenges of a prolonged public health emergency.
For us, one way that struggle made itself known was an inability to write. Stress and uncertainty dampened our creative spirits.
We needed to change things up. We needed to find the joy of writing again. We needed to write something short and sweet. Something we could whip up over a G&T on the back deck.
Something that would relieve some of the pandemic tension.
