The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is hosted by Long and Short Reviews. They offer this blog hop as a weekly prompt to help you gain new friends and visitors. You don't have to participate every week, but if you decide to post and join the blog hop for a week, Long and Short Reviews requests that you share your link in their weekly post on their website (which will be the top post on the home page each Wednesday morning). The link list remains open for new links for 48 hours. Visit the other bloggers participating to see what they discuss that week. Comments are appreciated.
Happy Wednesday! Today, I am going to attempt to take a few hours off to spend with the Lil' Diva. Before I do, however, I wanted to be sure to participate in this week's Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge. Let's talk prologues and epilogues.
A prologue is "the preface or introduction to a literary work." Whereas an epilogue is "a concluding section that rounds out the design of a literary work." Think before and after.
I'm a huge fan of prologues and epilogues. I like to read them to:
- Discover something outside of the novel's contents
- Get a hint of what to expect in the body of the story
- Have storylines neatly tied up
I certainly prefer to read an epilogue than a prologue. I don’t mind an introduction but often I find prologues tough to get through.
