To Prologue or Not to Prologue
Quick, what do you think about prologues?
If you're thinking as a writer, your answer might be "YES, I LOVE THEM!"
But as a reader, maybe not.
Prologues are the other oft-maligned pseudo-chapters along with epilogues, but prologues might actually do you more harm than good.
Executing a good prologue is more than just writing a good scene, and this episode talks about both the reasons to avoid including them, but also how to think about prologues if you decide that your story needs one.
