Question about book parts?
So in the story I’m working on–about 21 typed pages of the book is told in the POV of the main character’ little sister before it switches [it's part of the plot twist] It’s kind of like a prologue because it kind of sets the setting of the story and the struggles of the actual main character. Originally it was 3 chapters part of the story but I thought it could be one chunk. Is it possible to make it a Prologue or is there another thing to call this type of textual chunk?
Can I make this a ‘Part’ all on its own like Part I, Part II, Part III. Can there be more than tha traditional 3 Parts in a book like Part IV?
I’m just a little lost in how I’d written this section. But I can’t just take it out because it plays a very imporant role that sets the foundation for the entire series.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thank Your
Sounds pretty interesting, based on what you said about it!
For me, as a reader, long prologues are a bit annoying. And when it comes to writing, rules don’t apply to much! I didn’t even know there was supposed to be a certain amount of parts. But…rest assured, it doesn’t matter!
Parts in a book are effective! Usually I just use them to separate sequences in a book, sometimes as an excuse for long passages of time. And, as you could have told, I usually have more than three! Sometimes even up to five, or six, or occassionaly more! As long as it works for you and your story, do it!
