As I sit down to write, my natural inclination is to take the blank page (blog) and impose a narrative structure on it — probably comes of too much novel-writing. But I think it may actually work out, in a loose sense, to organize my Narrative Futures experience into chapters and acts and, hopefully, a forward trajectory in which the strands of inquiry and personal arcs eventually come together in the final project. So I think the way to start is with a prologue, ideally the kind of prologue that sets context and establishes some of the big questions of the piece, not the kind of prologue that makes critique partners/professors/editors comment, “This is why prologues should be outlawed!”
