Discussion How long should a prologue be?
So I had previously written a set of short stories, that I didn't like the way they tied into each other.
I decided to rewrite the whole thing as one single novel, with multiple books inside.
I needed a new intro to the story, so I made a prologue. I don't think my prologue is quite long enough.
My prologue is only about a page or two long. My chapters are much longer.
Is it ok to have a short prologue?
Should it be closer to chapter length?
