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 🙏

Blair Nys: Blood and Benevolence
Blair is a young man and even of royal heritage. As such his life has followed a strict plan since birth. Only for it to suddenly, in the time span of a finger snipping, change. Connections to another world opened up. Humans with powers made of the wildest imaginations, stepped out of them, calling themselves cultivators. Naturally, earth’s population went into an uproar. One piece of information created an especially great stir. The cultivators were there to pick disciples. Millions rushed to them, and Blair wanted to be one of them. There was just one problem. His lord father was strictly against interaction with those magical beings. He always dreaded a foreign power gaining influence in his court. Well, the old man never changes, and now it was the same as ever. His sister wasn´t even allowed to study abroad. However, all his senses told Blair that the future lay in the cultivator's hands. His plan was to gain knowledge, power, and maybe influence. Then he would return. One night he simply vanished in the darkness, away from his father’s claws. Will he succeed? That is hard to tell. The immortal world is an unforgiving place, even worse than earth. It’s just that Blair doesn’t know that yet. Can he survive there, and gain a footing in the new era of qi and godly hermits? Only time will tell, and Blair has to fight for every minute. Authors note: Give the story a try. It’s my personal blend of qi, cultivation, and struggles of morality and power. If I can deliver on all that is another question, but I will give it my best. As a further note, I am not using any of the usual strict realms and extreme power differences. It’s more about gathering and refining qi. Whoever uses his chances, sneak attacks, intuitions, and skills in a better way wins. However, having more or better qi will help, but I am not at a point where I have written a lot of that, so I might promise too much. Thanks for reading so far and checking my synopsis out, now you might give the story a try. Have fun. The picture is from JCK5D (Pixabay)
