Trouble is, as I intimated before, it's not just getting on with the quest, it's also getting progatonist No 2 into the picture more quickly. He currently arrives on page 71 and we need him there way before that.<br />But I like prologues too!Alishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406189984167289987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088473527308746266.post-5165026181523796952010-09-08T17:26:10.043+01:002010-09-08T17:26:10.043+01:00Hi Aliya - do you mean The Road or TB&TW?Hi Aliya - do you mean The Road or TB&TW?Alishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406189984167289987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088473527308746266.post-50313335489036573822010-09-08T17:13:56.109+01:002010-09-08T17:13:56.109+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088473527308746266.post-24087110850268543942010-09-08T17:13:35.984+01:002010-09-08T17:13:35.984+01:00Could you now start with a rally juicy bit of Ques...Could you now start with a rally juicy bit of Quest as a prologue, thus making the reader long to know how the novel got there? (Unlike many people, I'm a great fan of prologues as a taster and as reader-bait.)<br /><br />I loved The Road, partly because of the atmosphere it evokes, but also because to write so much about so little, and do it so well, is pure genius. But I do see the other point of view. However, if people have compared your novel to The Road, Alis, then be flattered!Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088473527308746266.post-5249685151862769832010-09-08T08:08:50.758+01:002010-09-08T08:08:50.758+01:00It's not bleak and redemptive, is it?It's not bleak and redemptive, is it?nohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00398443646324855212noreply@blogger.com
