I am thinking about adding a prolugue or an introduction to my story to grab the reader attention.
My first chapter isn't action oriented and I don't want ot to be for it will mess up the mood of the story and the character. However, I feel a need to introduce the character and why the reader should be interested in him and what happens to him.
If I decide to do this which would the reader be more apt to read?
The other reason I'm asking this is because as a rule I skip intros, but do read prologues.. Am I the average reader?
