Is there any advice on writing a sad, love, and meaningful story?

I'm thinking of writing a modern day and dream-like story about a teen-aged girl who falls in love with a boy in a dream she has. Anything that happens in her dreams come true unless she changes it somehow. I'm thinking about having small conflicts flicker in and out of the story to make it interesting, but I really would like to make the reader emotional and for them to really get into the story. If there is any advice that may help, I'd appreciate it, I'm up to the challenge. Plus, I know what it's like to be sad and heart-broken, and I'm thinking that may help.Is there any advice on writing a sad, love, and meaningful story?
That sounds like a great storyline. Few tips:


- Put yourself in the characters' situation and let yourself feel what they would feel.


- Don't be afraid to write down anything/everything you feel should be there. You can edit it out after.


- Don't force yourself to sit down and start writing. A writer's current mood really shows through their works. So avoid writing when you feel frustrated, annoyed, angry, etc.


- Buy some peaceful piano CD's, and put it on while you are writing.


- Make sure your surroundings are quiet (your kids, the phone, tv, etc.) Since you are writing a fiction book, detatch yourself from reality, and let yourself sink into your imagination.


- Also, ask reviewers such as your friends or family to criticize you in a nice way, because criticisms help improve your writing.

Use experience! It's great that you can relate to what you're writing because you will put your own emotion into it, which will pull emotion out of the reader. Most stories I've read that have really hit a chord for me were based on real-life experiences or were autobiographical. Use it to your advantage!
A good tip when writing any kind of story is to make sure that you, the author, show no involvement with the events that you describe. You should be as impersonal as a camera.
