Hi guys!
So, my prologue for my story is pretty short, but all the chapters after are generally between 1.5k - 2k words.
Question: Can a short prologue portray future chapters as being short and throw readers off of wanting to read it? I see on the stats that some people come in and just leave at 1/?? chapters. I also understand that can just be checking it out and then not being drawn in and/or just not suiting their needs.
But could a short prologue also do that? Would it be better to rewrite it/add on to it to give more of a premise on what it is about? I always thought a prologue just served as a a larger synopsis or something.
Thanks in advance. <3
