I lost you when I tried to organize my bookmarks.<BR/><BR/>I made my prlogue the first chapter after a few critiques before entering Genesis, now I regret it. They didn't say they didn't like the prologue, just that they're not popular.<BR/><BR/>Mine is about 150 words and introduces a secondary character before she is kidnapped. I want readers to have a reason to care if she lives or dies, but I don't want readers to be confused and think she's the protagonist.<BR/><BR/>I'm just now reading James Scott Bell's book on plotting, and he seems OK with prologues.<BR/><BR/>I think I just need to soak up more knowledge.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, not a very intellectual or literary post, but it's what's going on in my head.Melanie's Words Workhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373680970187321794noreply@blogger.com
