Back in the swing of writing after the holiday, and hopefully back to blogging more regularly, as I promised what, a week ago?
I'm almost 40% through my book and keeping a constant eye toward revision. To that end I was wondering something.
Do y'all ever read prologues in fiction novels, or do you bypass them completely?
The agents whose blogs I read view prologues with, for the most part, utter and complete disdain. They're poorly written, useless, meaningless, waste of time, don't make sense except in the context of the entire book.
So, what do you non-agent readers think of them? Worth having? Or should I consider scrapping it in my rewrite?
