Monday my dad and I finally talked about the prologue of my book, something I’ve been anxious to discuss for a long time.  I wasn’t satisfied with it at all, but I wasn’t sure what to do about it or even what it was missing.  We finally agreed that instead of trying to fix up the version I have now, I should just completely start afresh from a totally different approach.  Don’t tell him, but I took my brother’s advice and started the story from the bounty hunter’s point of view, which, once it occurred to me, really makes a lot of literal sense, since it’s very important to understand this character; starting with him just makes sense since the story’s about him anyway.

So I enthusiastically started writing the prologue, only to find, to my dismay, that I couldn’t get passed the first word- that word being ‘Prologue’.  Since then I’ve gotten down five paragraphs or so, but it’s just not coming to me.  It doesn’t feel right, or maybe I just have so much to say I don’t know how to say it.  I’ll get it right eventually, but for now it’s painfully slow.
