Re: To prologue or not to prologue? NMott at 11:58 on 14 January 2008



As a writer I have sercumbed to their dubious charms, but as a reader I hate them - especially the ones taken out of the main body of the work purely to hook the reader in.

I used a prologue in my present WIP, for the 'hook' reason. I soon decided it had to be Chapter One.
Like you Mr. Mott, I don't like them as a reader. So I try to avoid them as a writer too.

Funny old world isn't it?
