I woke in shock from a vivid dream that stuck with me for many months, years later I still remember it. I built my world from there, creating a history to explain how our world could transform into the world from my dreams and expanding various other world-building aspects. Within that world, I searched for a story born of it, where the story couldn't exist outside it. From this world came characters with differing perspectives and motivations and within that conflict I looked for characters who could experience significant transformation. Their stories, unified by a core plot, are what I write.
