prolog adalah perangkat narasi yang digunakan dalam novel, drama dan bentuk-bentuk tulisan. Ini pada dasarnya adalah sebuah pembukaan yang memberikan rincian latar belakang dan setting cerita.
dari prolog berguna untuk menerangkan atau membeberkan situasi. Prolog disusun dengan tujuan untuk membangkitkan minat pembaca terhadap novel yang ditulis.
Jika suatu cerita dimulai dengan prolog, maka harus diakhiri dengan epilog.
Siapa di sini yang merasa membuat prolog itu sulit?
Membuat prolog itu susah-susah gampang. Prolog sangat sensitif sifatnya dan menjadi kunci awal keberhasilan sebuah cerita.
Tanggung jawab penulis
1. (siapa pun yang kamu tunjuk sebagai seseorang yang kamu anggap krusial untuk diletakkan di prolog), buatlah pembaca menyukai dia.
2. (Waktu dan tempat).
3. dari keseluruhan cerita.
Perlu kamu tahu bahwa membuat prolog bukan kewajiban penulis.
itu adalah kesempatan untuk memulai ceritamu dua kali dari dua poin yang berbeda. Tergantung bagaimana kamu mengolah.
Bagaimana kamu tahu kalau prologmu sukses?
Coba jawab tiga pertanyaan ini (dalam hati)
1. Perlukah kamu menulis prolog?
2. Apa yang dilakukan prologmu?
3. Apakah yang dilakukan prolog benar?
Setelah kamu memikirkan jawabannya, cocokkan dengan kunci jawaban berikut ini:
1. Lihatlah terhadap ceritamu. Beberapa cerita memerlukan prolog, beberapa cerita tidak memerlukannya. Semuanya tergantung pada apakah yang ada dalam paragraf pertama. Kalau paragraf pertama kamu tulis langsung ke dalam cerita, maka sepertinya kamu tidak memerlukan prolog.
2. yang ada dalam prolog. Tidak semua prolog menggunakan karakter utama sebagai fokusnya. Kadang prolog bahkan tidak memerlukan karakter. Dengan hanya memberikan sebuah adegan secara dramatis dari bencana yang nantinya membuat cerita berjalan, seharusnya itu juga sudah cukup menarik.
3. Bisa jadi prolog mencapai sepuluh halaman atau bahkan cuma setengah halaman. Tidak ada larangan untuk menulis prolog sepanjang mungkin.
4. Misal kamu menceritakan sebuah bencana beberapa tahun silam, maka kamu bisa menulis dengan gaya seperti buku sejarah.

5. Prolog biasanya hanya berfokus pada satu hal, kejadian atau scene. Jangan sampai di tengah prolog, tiba-tiba kamu mengubah Point of View-mu.
Karena prolog ini adalah pintu gerbang dalam sebuah buku, maka ada beberapa peraturan yang harus kamu hindari:
1. Prolog sinopsis. Meski mereka menjelaskan bagaimana setting dan waktu novelmu secara general, menjelaskan seperti apa kronologis duniamu bekerja bukanlah hal yang menarik untuk dibahas di prolog.
2. Prolog juga tempat untuk show up. Membuat karakter menarik bisa dilakukan dengan banyak cara, tapi memperkenalkan diri ala diary dan memberikan keterangan apa saja kerennya karakter utamamu akan membuat pembaca langsung bosan dan lebih buruk lagi, berhenti membaca bukumu.
3. Hindari penulisan plot poin terlalu banyak. Tulislah cukup hal penting di prolog untuk membuat pembaca tertarik, namun jangan terlalu banyak. Ada beberapa hal yang lebih baik diungkap pelan-pelan daripada dibuka di prolog.
Nah, sekian
Pertanyaannya adalah
Prolog yang kamu buat menarik perhatian pembaca?
apakah ceritamu butuh prolog apa tidak. Jagan terlalu memaksakan diri untuk buat prolog.
Q1: Prolog anti-mainstream contohnya gimana?
A1: Prolog anti-mainstream? Tergantung ceritamu genre apa dan tentang apa. Bisa dimulai dengan ledakan di awal, konflik, atau tokoh antagonis yang berperan dalam prolog. Ciptakan akhir yang menggantung/bikin penasaran, sehingga pembaca bakal lanjut ke halaman berikutnya
Q2: Aku sering liat ada di novel sebuah cerita ada epilog tapi nggak ada prolog. Emang boleh ya begitu?
A2: Dasarnya, prolog kan sebuah pembukaan cerita, maka pasti ada penutup yg berisi akhir dari cerita, pesan2 moral, dsb. Prakteknya, sebuah cerita pasti membutuhkan epilog, karena tadi prolog bukanlah kewajiban penulis jadi tidak masalah sebuah cerita tanpa prolog tapi ada epilog.
Semoga materi yang dishare bermanfaat untuk para Fams yang membacanya.
Kritik dan saran kami terima dengan baik. Terima kasih 🙏

Diary of the Night Demoness
Me and my father were just minding our own business, trying to make a living in a world filled with strife. Sadly, people want to play gods. Want to dictate our life and death. Well, they succeeded in doing something right for a change. They created the demon within me and I was fine with showing them the darker sides of a bright light. He always taught me that I must be strong. That if I wanted something, I must reach out and grasp it with my own scarred hands. Well.. It is time to take revenge into my own hands. Be it Rebels fighting for their freedoms or Nobles protecting their wealth and status. I want them all to feel the stinging pain of loss, I want them all to fall into the abyss that replaced my heart, and at the end of the day. Cold steel doesn't understand empathy. Mm, it was time to unleash the Night Demoness.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
