"We’ve invented worlds close to our own and written about things in the actual world like mundane daily routines, intimate relationships, joy in nature, encounters with strangers and moving house."
 
This collection of accounts and stories was written through the early stages of the pandemic, as the authors and friends were struggling to adjust to an altered way of living. As visual artists it took a big leap of faith to use the medium of writing to digest, process and articulate the changes that they were experiencing.
 
"We’re really glad we took a chance on writing as a way to create a testament of this time in our lives. It allowed us to record and preserve extraordinary moments that would otherwise have become blurry. Reading back is like recognising a version of ourselves that is becoming increasingly hard to access as we're asked to focus on “getting back to normal”.
 
After writing nine short pieces each over a period of 15 months, we slowed and eventually stopped  writing to one another. We didn't feel the need to force ourselves to carry on but instead realised that we could continue our collaboration by working on a book together. Creating this physical collection of our writings has taken us almost as many months as the 15 we spent writing to each other! Thankfully it has felt as empowering and heartwarming."
