@NovelistNotions Generally I'd skip.

What's your opinion on prologues? I've seen differing opinions. Some say prologues are good and sometimes necessary. Others say if your first chapter needs a prologue, the first chapter is the problem. I've read great books both with and without prologues, so I'm fairly neutral on the idea. Where do you stand? Let's talk about it. #WritingCommunity

No agent likes for me this #QuestPit, but I enjoyed every minute of it. The support from other writers was the highlight for me. 🫶 Thank you @questpit for hosting an event that brings this community together. #WritingCommunity #amquerying

That's a wrap on my first #QuestPit! ✨ Big thank you to everyone who stopped by to like, repost, comment, or cheer on my pitch. Wishing the #writingcommunity the very best of luck in the #amquerying trenches. I hope your stories find the perfect home. 💙📚
