Thanks Adele. I really like that article by Lital Talmor. It's a great one to read if you have time. She also includes four job descriptions that the prologue might have (i.e. future protagonist, past protagonist, different POV, and background).
I know what you mean about putting the prologue in and out. I wrote a brilliant prologue for my current novel, but it's now on the cutting room floor. Am thinking of re-inventing it as a poem :) Thanks for taking the time to comment.
