My Dream Guy follows a young woman navigating her troubled youth who wonders if she will find her dream guy or if he is just a dream. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

A saying and song say, “You might not get what you want, but you get what you need.” I chose this saying and song to tell the story of a young woman who unexpectedly finds her dream man. The goal was to depict her journey from feeling lost and frustrated to finding something unexpected that gives her a sense of peace and hope.

What were some of the emotional and moral guidelines you followed when developing your characters?

Due to the lack of morals in her mother, the main character acted on her conscience. The main character’s strong moral compass serves as a guiding light throughout the story, leading her to make decisions based on her conscience and values. It not only shapes her actions and choices but also becomes a source of conflict as she navigates a world filled with moral ambiguity and questionable characters. Ultimately, it is her unwavering commitment to doing what is right that propels the story forward and brings about the unexpected twists and turns in her journey.
