thanks for the review. Why do you hate that starting? I can only guess, but it is a bit clichéd. Not that it claims to be real, just as an opener. Try to convince the reader its real, rather than telling them. It's way creepier if they believe it themself, rather than being told to by the author. Also, considering the setting of a writer's workshop, it's a bit ironic:P But hey, it can still work if done properly, imo. It just has to be worked in with a bit of subtlety.
