I had no intention of writing a at all, because I thought the first chapter was already a good start. But suddenly it was there.

In this case, I opened a loop that I wanted to close at the very end anyway, but which happens long before the first chapter.

Do you write prologues? If so, what do you think should be the difference with the first chapter?
Is the first chapter still relevant to pique the reader's interest, or does the prologue take over this task?

La nueva SUV eléctrica coproducción de Honda y General Motors (que por cierto, se dice se fabricará en la planta mexicana de Ramos Arizpe) Honda Prologue 2024 ha sido vista completamente al desnudo antes de su lanzamiento a principios del próximo año. Además, la crossover se montará sobre la plataforma escalable BEV3 de GM y se tendrá 500 km de autonomía. Por Cole Marzen y GM Authority

This phrase comes from 's play The Tempest and is used to suggest that the events of will influence . It implies that the past will act as a to what lies ahead and that the same patterns, attitudes, and outcomes will continue to be seen in . The phrase is often used to emphasize the importance of learning from the past in order to prepare for the future.

A common question I see in the is "Am I allowed...?"

I think the question is seeking "best practices," but it's sort of unanswerable. It depends on and goals. has form and structure, but beyond that, whether you use a or dual POVs or distasteful language depends on everything from the style of your genre to whether you intend to .

Sometimes I feel the question should conclude "...and still find fame and respect?" What do you seek?

Tout réside dans le "à bon escient ". Le bon escient des uns est le mauvais goût des autres.

one of my photos from last night's prologue, of Jay Vine safely taking the corner of Frome Road and MacKinnon Parade. I wasn't there at the time but two riders didn't make it around that corner rubber side down.

Is it okay to have 2 prologues? Asking for a friend.

What if they're written in the first person with the narrator telling highly entertaining stories about their past that sets up the present day? 😆 😬 🤦‍♂️

The way I figure, aren’t currently in fashion. If you find yourself skipping a , chances are that you’ve trained yourself not to read them, or the one you are skipping is badly written.

I’ve noticed a lot of people are anti-prologue, and I’m not sure why. What’s wrong with more story? I like story. I don’t think I’ve ever written one, but neither have I skipped one when reading a book.
