Ever have that moment where you’re writing your story that contains a prologue, and you’re procrastinating hard because you don’t know how to present it?
For example, I’m making a new Jekyll and Hyde story using characters from the Danganronpa franchise (one of my special interests right now).
The prologue imitates chapter eight of the OG RLS novel, and the victim (Toko)’s death is the inciting incident that is the source of the good and evil separation/base urges removing motivation for who I’ve picked to be the main character. (If anyone knows Danganronpa, try and guess who I chose! (Hint: He is voiced by Bryce Papenbrook, who also voiced one of the most popular characters in the franchise.))
The problem is, The Last Night is the second longest chapter in the novel, and I’m afraid I’ll be copying every word from the book. Also, since this is practically my book’s prologue, it will naturally have to be long. And as you know from Facade, I normally write small introductions, and not so much inciting incidents. So, of course, my writers mind blanks.
If anyone can give me advice on writing prologues about the inciting incident, than I’d be more than grateful!
