Heyo! I Love The Tips Of Writing! It's So Helpful And So Good! Do You Have Or Know Any Tips For Writing

Heyo! I love the tips of writing! It's so helpful😍 and so good! Do you have or know any tips for writing a prologue? Thank you very much!🥰

Heyo! So happy they help you out and I hope I can help you out even more :)

How to write a prologue

First advice: not every work of fiction has a prologue, so if you include one make sure it's memorable and enhances your story

Purpose of a prologue

to give background information the reader needs before starting the story

to explain the conflict the story starts with

to set the tone of your story

to introduce some of the characters

to foreshadow

Different kinds of prologue

Full-on action - especially if your story starts slow, you will still want to keep the reader's interest, so if you have a prologue that is full of action and drama, but then doesn't tell the reader how this scenario came to be and what happens next, then they will want to read the story to find out what's going on

The introduction - this kind of prologue establishes the point of view of the story and even introduces some of the characters and their backgrounds. This helps the reader be more connected to the characters when the story begins. But be careful not to give away too much!

Spoiler Alert - same like the first one, you want your reader to be hooked and be excited about your story, and to achieve that you can give them something that the main character doesn't even know yet or something that will be a very important fact in the future

This is just a short overview, but I hope it helps you with your writing!

Easy vintage wrap top

This vintage wrap top design is an easy beginners project: you don't need a pattern, you can customise it to your own size, and despite lacking stretch it doesn't require any zippers or buttons.

The top is made out of woven fabric and consists of a rectangle in which a hole for the head is cut. Straps are added to the short sides of the rectangle to tie the top around your body.

There's a lot of variations on this top: to see examples, check out these written tutorials by Sew What Gilly, Freshly Given, Gina Michele, Sadie the Sewing Machine, The Thread, and Mood Fabrics.

AssunDIY on Youtube also has tutorials for two variations on this top: a rectangle shirt version and a butterfly shirt version.

Given the simplicity of this top, it's a neat way to use up old bed sheets and such.

Some examples:
