The Prologue in a book is always written by the Author. In the Prologue, the Author gives an introduction that sets the scene for the story. It is part of the book and should be read before chapter 1.

You can always add a prologue after writing the first draft; you might want to consider the Pros and Cons before you begin writing.
Let’s define the Prologue in more detail.
What is a Prologue?
The Prologue is in the section of a novel that comes before the story’s true beginning. It can comprise a few lines or be as long as a chapter.
A prologue frequently sets up the story, giving readers a view of events earlier, even years before, in the main characters‘ life.
A prologue provides background, reveals the character to the current point, establishes the story’s tone, or presents the theme.
A prologue stands out.
Draws attention to specific events before or after the current storytime.
Use a flashback later in the story or express the past through discourse or personal thought in memory.
A prologue can be told in a distinct voice than the rest of the story or be presented by another viewpoint character.
A Prologue is to get the reader’s attention. Draws the reader into the tale.
An Inadequate Prologue will do the opposite.
A poor prologue doesn’t lure the reader in and can serve to keep them away.
Prologue to serve as an introduction.Compelling,relevant.
And necessary.
Ask yourself these questions:
if the reader didn’t read the Prologue, would they still like to understand the story?;(interest)
Can the details in the Prologue be introduced in the main story itself, through dialogue, action or thought;? (Weave all the elements of the Prologue through the story to add to the flow)
Is the data from the Prologue so crucial that the reader must be aware as they read the story, from the exposure from the Prologue with the developing drama from the current storyline?
Is the Prologue too slow and uninvolving on an excellent opening?;
Does it diminish your genuine introduction?
Prologues can meet a purpose, but they can also detract from a story, especially from the impact of its opening pages.
Accomplish your purpose without interfering with the flow and impact of the whole story.
Should I use a Prologue of Not? Pros
Understand what a prologue conveys
Can reveal character stimulus.
Can swiftly establish tone.
Can swiftly establish questions in the reader’s mind. (They want to find the answers)
Can provide story direction or focus only a (few words or a chapter)
Cons
Delays the start of the current story.
Forces readers to think about elements and characters’ events that might not be involved for much time in the existing story (or might not have a part in the current storyline).
Can separate the reader’s focus.
It can keep readers from becoming fully involved in the right now of the story as they try to figure out how the Prologue has to do with other story events.
In conclusion, to Prologue or not to Prologue is Up to You As the Author and what your story is telling the reader in Chapter One.

Watch the Playlist Created Just for You as a Beginner.
Hello and welcome. To all New Authors out there. I would like to be able to help you to write, publish, and market your novel today. I’m doing this video. For all the new people who are just new beginners.
So many people say I want to author a book, but I don’t know where to start. Or I’ve started writing a book, but I just didn’t have the motivation to finish it. Or I just don’t know. What writing a book? Really involves. I do not know Grammar or my spelling is atrocious. I believe everybody has the ability to create a novel You are the Creator of your own Script much the same you can also use your imagination to create a new script one where there are no limits only what your put on your thinking
Here are my 6 steps. That I have used. Eight steps to authoring a novel, so this is how to write a novel for beginners. So let’s jump into the video.
An idea or a spark of inspiration? Many of us have so many different ideas and imaginings that cross our minds every day. And it’s hard to know which one is the one that we are going to pursue. The best. The answer? The question is to Stick to the idea that most excite you. The idea that draws your attention and awareness the most. You may have a few ideas right now. That could possibly become stories. Sitting in your subconscious mind. But try to stay on track. Look at the idea that most excite you. If it excites you, it will excite others reading your story.
If you write something and if you are moved or excited when you read then odds are the reader will not be as well
Are you willing to work with any idea to make it into a great fantasy story? Do you have any ideas? Leave me a comment down below love to hear your comments
Number 2 Brainstorming
Now that you’ve chosen the idea that you’re most excited about, it’s time to come up with the rest of the story. If you’re writing science fiction or fantasy novel, Historical fiction. Romance. Pretty much anything. My own story is fiction based on some real facts and personalities places and structures You can brainstorm anything in the world. Where does your story take to take you? Character elements. How many characters will there be? Who are your main characters? , What are their goals, and motivations, and what change will they undergo by the end of the story? Create a document.
Number 3 Everything All in One Place
Create a document. Microsoft Word Document Use Microsoft Dictate
Compile All of your papers or half-finished book in one place. List Your Characters All Events and Scenes Ideas This will make up most of the elements. That is going to use throughout the novel. Organize it by category. All of the elements that you are going to add to your novel are in one place. So that now you will have your plot. Characters Scenes Goals. Motivations. Changes
Number 4 Time Line Outline
If you are a structured disciplined person then an outline will work for you.
Create A Time Line and Add Your Characters Events Milestones Twists and Turns Plot Ideas
Explore and expand the spark the reason for the definition of what your book is going to be about.
Your Main Characters Protagonists The Hero of the Story the goal of the Characters Battle Scenes of Intense twists and turns Antagonists The Villains of the Story
Support Characters characters that are part of the story but not the main part
Remember everything is open to change at any time it is not set in stone Know the Important Details of your Plot Everything started with seeing Mars for the first time in 2003. 👉This is important to Research A Truth that can be used in a fiction story to make it seem more real and believable. Based on Character Place Structure or Organization Know your Story’s Setting Where it truly begins 👉Important who is telling the story for your Characters(Your Narrators) Ask Yourself interesting Questions as you are Outlining and dictate all of your ideas in your world document Remember anything can be changed at any time so dictate all of your ideas in this place
Experiment With your outline. Just see if outlining will work for you. If you feel That outlining is going to kill your creativity then make it very brief.
Take all of the ideas from your Brainstorming Session add them to your Outline and go from there and determine how much you really want to outline. Or how much you really need to outline. You may have something from your brainstorming part something else sparks the idea even more and with a little research, you can make any fiction believable
Number 5. Blank Page Get Into the Zone
You finished your outline. Now you move on to the blank page and this is a little scary. For many people, it’s oftentimes. Writer Block may happen not to fret And it doesn’t matter how crappy you think it is or how good you think it is, you still have the idea in the thought. And when you write it down, some other good ideas may come to you. You’re going to be doing a lot of Drafts
Now just focus on filling that page up with words that are good and descriptive
Now you are at the point you are ready to write your first chapter or for some people the prologue to the first chapter
Word are Powerful And this is where the power thesaurus will come in for you to be able to use the right kind of descriptive words along with Grammarly for your Grammar and Spelling . And. Right description word. And this will be. Your template. As you go through your novel. You will get used to it. Especially when you use different programs that will help you to be able to recognize and use different words to create your scenes
Number 6 Reason to Write
Your reason? What is the reason you want to write this novel? Try not to doubt yourself or that you can actually write a novel you may have many drafts
The motivation you need is a reason to start writing Keep on Keep on Dictating and then do your editing later. Don’t worry about your spelling or grammar Or you feel that you could write that better, or you could use different words. This is very important when you start writing your novel.
7. Motivation Your Will To Write
. Do you have the motivation to keep writing? Do you have the motivation to sit there day after day and be in the zone of writing? And you’re going to have days that are better than. You’re going to have some days that are better than other days and there are going to be days when you just want to sit there and you could write forever.
There’s gonna be times when you sit down to write. Or you sit down and you put your headset on and you start to dictate and you read it back. Does not seem right? Maybe not interesting enought!
Although you may reach a point. That. If you get it right the first time. You take your idea. You expand on your idea. And you follow your idea through. And there is your paragraph. I sometimes use too many words. So that is why I like using programs that will help me with all of my grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Such as Grammarly and the Power Thesaurus.
Now, I’m not going to tell you that it’s going to be easy. It’s not going to be easy, but if you follow. In all of the videos that I have created for the series, you are the creator. You will find this is the fastest, easiest and most cost-efficient way. That you are going to be able to write your first novel.
In the videos, I will show you. That as you are dictating. You are also creating. You are allowing your mind just to travel to any place that it wants to go. No thought is bad Any thought? Any idea? The tiniest spark of imagination that you have? You will be able to capture it. Dictating a novel is so much easier. Then having to write or use a keyboard and having to worry a lot. Did I hit the wrong key? Is my spelling OK? that publish button that feels pretty Always remember. That your novel is a work in progress, and that editing, rewriting and changing things are a constant thing that you will be doing all through your novel. There will be times when you start. In a different direction. And then you realise, well, this is this does not make sense. There may be times when you have to go back and rewrite something because it does not add up Is it going to take discipline? Yes. Are you going to be able to? Do this at your own time and your own pace, yes. Try not to beat yourself up if you don’t feel creative or you don’t feel like writing. I put a time limit on when I wanted to complete my book, but you don’t have to. I started this book in 2003. And life just got in the way. So I picked it up again in 2022. So as an example, you may have papers, or you may have books that you’ve already started. You can use anything. As a spark. For your imagination. But the main thing to remember. Is being able to actually get into the zone. This video is over please subscribe for the next video where I show you how to get into the zone of writing
Reba had just pulled up her story and started to get ‘In The Zone’ to write her story. Reba realized something that she had never thought of before. In her book, she could do anything she ever wanted to do. Her characters started to take on a life of their own. The Protagonist is a woman, a Scientist, and an “Astronaut. Cynthia Jordan. A Super Soldier trained for Combat and Conflict Resolution. A female Superhero with the White Hat Task Force. A group of entities that help humanity and keep the Universe in balance. Reba thought to herself “doesn’t every writer create a protagonist who is a superhero but still has qualities of the writer?” .After researching writing a suspense thriller, Reba was quite knowledgeable. Reba also learned about the Antagonist, the villain or opposition to the Protagonist. The Antagonist in Reba’s story was a private Elite Worldwide Corporation, The Ancient Order of Societies TAOOS. Reba felt so good and very creative
In The Zone
Being Completely Unaware of what’s going on around you as you are So Extremely into what’s going on right in front of your face; like anything more than 3 feet away just doesn’t registerin the brain.

I p 243 (cI-46)
Research scientists will be investigating the powers associated with
the various energy fields of the earth. They'll try to harness the
powers for different purposes, including warfare. When they begin
experiments, in an area near the North Sea they will accidentally
rupture one of the earth's fields so that a beam of energy will shoot
out into space and draw a steady stream of meteorites to earth. They
will continue to rain down until the scientists can repair the
damage. Doing so will cause an earthquake from built up stress. The
research will be a secret government project. To the world at large
this will appear to be a natural phenomenon and will be recorded as
such in future history books, because the government will keep the
project concealed even after the accident.
Seismic hazard estimates, currently primarily based on a sparse catalog of sturdy floor motion records from stations near huge earthquakes, will more and more be based totally upon sensible simulations of hypothetical ruptures. Those fashions account for the transport of warmth and fluids inside the fault zone, dramatic weakening of fault friction at some point of speedy slip, and inelastic deformation of heavily fractured rocks surrounding the fault core. One modern awareness of the group is exploring how geometric complexity of faults, within the form of fractal floor roughness as well as branches and bends, affects earthquake dynamics. Those functions result in abnormal rupture propagation and the generation of incoherent high frequency seismic waves which can be ubiquitous in seismograms. The picture indicates effects from a hard fault model. The colored regions surrounding the nonplanar fault (purple line) are areas that skilled inelastic deformation throughout the rupture process, and the blue hint is a pace seismogram recording the history of shaking on the station (pink triangle). Any other consciousness of the research institution is the development of numerical methods for computing the boom of ruptures from nucleation areas at the scale of some meters to absolutely developed earthquakes that propagate tens or hundred of kilometers — all with out making compromises in parameter values limited through laboratory studies.
Instead, she went to the computer and typed 3:15 am. Quite a few sites were coming up as the world clock and time issues, but one that made her halt dead in her tracks was called ‘Why is 3:00 am the devil’s hour? Reba read aloud.” The popular belief is that 3:00 am is the devil’s hour. It’s called the devil’s hour because of the opinion that Jesus Christ died at 3:00 am, so it’s an inversion of the crucifix. When you are awake between 3:00 am, and 5:00 am? when the veil between our world and the spirit world is at its thinnest, and wicked spirits can come out to haunt us. ” Ok,” Reba said and continued to keep reading. Waking up betwixt 3:00 am and 5:00 am is a sign that a higher power is trying to tell you something. Making a warning of something important about to happen. Reba said to herself, ‘this is so interesting but could all this be true?’ Reba read on A sign that your higher self was trying to contact your lower self with a powerful message. Reba pondered all the information when she heard Julie and James up and knew it was time to get away from the computer. Reba attended to the children, but her mind was on something else all the while. It was as if the fantasy fiction book she had begun started to have a real-life of its own. Was Reba confusing fantasy with reality? It was amazing how she could easily find all the information to make her book seem more accurate and true. Reba wondered where did this information come from? The people who wrote these articles online must have done research too! Reba shook her head and said quietly to herself,”Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” Where that thought came from she did not know. Reba did know that something was about to change somewhere
