"--that’s what surprises, satisfies and pleases readers. Stay away from the tried and true. Write with imagination."
Yes, I think that's a precious advice. I can write my morning routine as a story; it is true, but it will be a very boring story.
But sometimes it is difficult to know what people perceive as "interesting." I teach a lot of interesting things in my class--from my perspective, but still some students fall asleep. Guess you just can't please everyone.
Like the story I'm writing now: the struggles of Jason and his mail-order-bride mother. Some might find it interesting, some might not. I don't even know if my opening is good enough.
I'll just keep writing. Revisions (...or reconstruction) will come later.
Some more revisions:
