Today Ella had a really hard day at school - when she started talking about it, it was very clear that she was sad and passionate about what had happened. That it really hurt her feelings and she cared deeply about what people had said to her and around her.
Instead of trying to pull character choices out - we decided that we would channel her emotions and thoughts into a song!
We mapped out how she was feeling and started putting it to a melody and chord progression. It's a great song!
