THEY SAY THAT YOU NEVER TRUELY LIVE UNTIL YOU HAVE FOUND SOMETHING TO DIE FOR.
My name is Bryleigh Nicole Davis, and I lived for the something that could kill me. Love. I fell in love, and for the first time I felt truly alive. But everyone knows that if you fall, there is a chance of getting hurt. Fall off your bite, scrape your knees. Fall from a tree, break an arm. Fall off a building, lose you life. Yet, there is one thing more painful then the rest. If you fall in love, you'll get your heart broken, ripped straight from your chest, a feeling worse then dying. And you still live on, but not really, everything looks different after you've lost your heart. I would know. But I'm getting way to far ahead of myself, my story starts way before I even knew what love was.
Bryleigh Nicole Davis, just a normal girl. I sing in the shower, complain about homework, hang out with friends. I was so normal.

Hi Lady RaRa,
So your prologue was pretty decent, it didn't give me too much of anything, other than the fact the the story is about a girl who get's her heart broken.

THEY SAY THAT YOU NEVER TRUELY LIVE UNTIL YOU HAVE FOUND SOMETHING TO DIE FOR. Does it really all need to be in caps?
My name is Bryleigh Nicole Davis, and I lived for the something that could kill me. Love. I would start a new paragraph here. I fell in love, and for the first time I felt truly alive. But everyone knows that if you fall, there is a chance of getting hurt. Fall off your bite bike, scrape your knees. Fall from a tree, break an arm. Fall off a building, lose you life. Yet, there is one thing Try using different wording than "one thing" to make it flow better more painful then the rest. If you fall in love, you'll get your heart broken, ripped straight from your chest, a feeling worse then dying. And you still live on, but not really, everything looks different after you've lost your heart. I would know. But I'm getting way to far ahead of myself, my story starts way before I even knew what love was.

I would take out the last paragraph all together for a better effect


Okay, so I really liked how descriptive your character was of a broken heart, I could kind of feel her pain. A prologue is supposed to pull you in and a story about another girl getting her heart broken is kind of cliche, you might want to try adding something unique or intriguing to pull us in. Just a suggestion. Put since it's the prologue I don't know much about your writing style or story so I'll keep reading and I'll probably have been in error, lol.

You've got an interesting start, and I'm rather curious as to why Bryleigh wasn't normal anymore. The only complaint I have about this is the opening line. While it's fine that you have it in all caps, maybe it'd be better to put it in bold or italics, or bold and italics, that way it will stand out and not seem like you're yelling. Do you know what I mean?

Anyway, you're off to a good start, even though it's a little short. Maybe the shortness will work for it though. Anyway, hope this helped, and keep writing!
