Problem: Article: To write an effective prologue, you need to first consider which prologue type fits with your novel. Often, prologues are written after the novel has been completed or when a novel is in its finishing stages. If you are writing a prologue cold, with no other chapters written, you should still think about how the prologue is going to affect the rest of the book. Think about how the prologue is going to enhance your novel and feel integral to the story. Will it reveal character, setting, or point of view? Will it provide backstory or frame the rest of the novel in a particular way? If you are writing a prologue for a completed book, you should also think about how the prologue will interact with your first chapter. The prologue should hook your reader in and be just as strong as the details and scenes in your first chapter, if not better. The prologue should not regurgitate details in the first chapter or feel redundant in any way, as this will likely lead to a boring and dry prologue. Often, prologues are set within a scene, especially in action and thriller novels. This gives the prologue a fast pace and helps to engage the reader right away. You should think about which scene or scenes you would like to use in your prologue. This may be based on the character voice you decide to use for the prologue. Use the five senses to make the scene come alive for the reader, with a focus on what the scene smells like, feels like, sounds like, and of course, how it looks. Have your character interact with these elements in the scene and use your character as a way for your reader to access the scene. Most prologues are successful if they are short and to the point. Try to use only one to two scenes in the prologue, as too many scenes can make the prologue feel too long and drawn out. Often, using one powerful scene as the prologue can be very effective and draw the reader in right away. Avoid hopping around in time a lot in your prologue, as this can make the prologue feel confusing or jumpy to the reader. Try to stay in one time period or within one to two time periods so the prologue does not become too long. If you decide to use your prologue as a way to access a certain character's point of view, make sure you get into the voice of your character. Think about how the character might speak to others and to themselves. Consider the age, background, and gender of the character, and how this might inform the character's voice or style of narration. If you are using the prologue as a way to access a character that does not appear again in the novel or only appears as a minor character, use the prologue to really explore the character's perspective. This is your opportunity to show the reader more about the character and delve into what makes the character tick. If the purpose of your prologue is to reveal the past moments in a character's life or to discuss the history of a character, you should make sure there is enough backstory in the draft. Include engaging details from the character's past and have the character show why these details are important or necessary to the rest of the story. Though the backstory should be about the character, it should also connect to the larger themes or ideas in the novel.
Summary: Choose which type of prologue fits your story. Create a scene with sensory details. Aim for a prologue with one to two scenes. Use a specific character voice. Put backstory in the prologue.

Problem: Article: A full veil is made out of a single piece of fabric. It is folded in half to form two tiers: a longer veil that runs down your back and a blusher that is worn over the face in the ceremony.The total length of your full combines the first measurement (measurement of the longer veil) with the second measurement (measurement of the blusher). After adding together the two measurements, cut your veil to the appropriate length. Lay out the material on a flat, clean surface. Fold the material in half lengthwise. Fold the material in half widthwise. Locate the corner of the material where all four layers are separate. Use a pair of fabric scissors to round off the corners. You may measure this curve or choose to eyeball it. To achieve a smooth curve, carefully trim off the rough edges. Unfold the material and lay it out flat once again. Fold the top edge of the veil down so that it lays on top of the bottom layer of material. Adjust the length of the top layer until it is as long as the blusher measurement. Thread a needle. Insert the needle through both layers of material near the fold. Create a secure stitch on one end of the veil. As you continue stitching, gather the material. When you reach the other side, make sure the length of the gatherer material matches the length of your comb. Knot the thread and cut off the needle. Place the comb, curved side up, on top of the gathered edge. The blusher should be the top layer. Use a threaded needle to attach the comb to the veil by stitching several times around each tooth.
Summary: Cut the veil to the desired length. Fold the material into quarters. Round off corners. Fold down the blusher. Stitch across the width of the veil near the fold, gathering the material as you go. Attach the comb to the veil.

Problem: Article: Listen to how each sentence sounds, particularly the dialogue. Notice if the story flows well from paragraph to paragraph. Check for any awkward sentences or phrases and underline them so you can revise them later. Notice if your story follows your plot outline and that there is a clear conflict for your main character. Reading the story aloud can also help you catch any spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors. With short stories, the general rule is that shorter is usually better. Most short stories are between 1,000 to 7,000 words, or one to ten pages long. Be open to cutting scenes or removing sentences to shorten and tighten your story. Make sure you only include details or moments that are absolutely essential to the story you are trying to tell. Most editors, and readers, will check the title of the story first to determine if they want to continue reading. Pick a title that will intrigue or interest your reader and encourage them to read the actual story. Use a theme, image, or character name from the story as the title. For example, the title "Something I've Been Meaning to Tell You" by Alice Munro is a good one because it is a quote from a character in the story and it addresses the reader directly, where the "I" has something to share with readers. The title "Snow, Apple, Glass" by Neil Gaiman is also a good one because it presents three objects that are interesting on their own, but even more interesting when placed together in one story. Show the short story to friends, family members, and peers at school. Ask them if they find the story emotionally moving and engaging. Be open to constructive criticism from others, as it will only strengthen your story. You can also join a writing group and submit your short story for a workshop. Or you may start your own writing group with friends so you can all workshop each other's stories. Once you get feedback from others, you should then revise the short story again so it is at its best draft.
Summary:
Read the short story out loud. Revise the short story for clarity and flow. Come up with an interesting title. Let others read and critique the short story.
