Yeah, when someone hates a prologue JUST because it’s marked “Prologue” — doesn’t really make sense to me.

I agree about the use of prologues in certain cases. I think they can really set up a story and get the reader hooked if used properly. I am actually using one in my Sci-Fi manuscript, but not in my Thriller. The Sci-Fi story needs a kickoff that is quite a ways away in time from the main story, so that separation really works. With the Thriller, it doesn’t really require it so I didn’t use one.

It’s been a crazy week here, too. I am hoping for both our sakes it calms down soon! Blessings!

Funny how the smallest things can trigger a story. I was looking at the family tree on Ancestry and realized that not only was my grandmother a “runner” but her mother may have been, as well. No record of her buried anywhere near her family, so it’s possible grandma got her “wandering” gene from her mother.

What a great story idea, huh?
