How is your writing process like? Which is the most challenging part about writing an 8-parts story?

Following a decade long friendship, the two decided over coffee to try writing a song together. Soon the duo, dubbed Every Lovely Thing, was on their way to St. Louis to record their debut single, Running! We have conducted an interview with them.

This was the culmination of our writing songs together for over a year. The song is about toxic relationships. Both of us are INFJs on the Myer’s-Briggs personality test and highly sensitive people - thus have had our share of relational struggles, sometimes feeling swallowed up, misunderstood, overrun by others. Rather than “I am a victim running away,” it is our intention to depict a healthy acceptance of ours...
