Example: In my WIP in progress the opening chapter (or prologue - that's the second part to this question) is of the MC as a boy - 10 or 11 sorta thing. Then from there on out MC is grown up. Biggest reason for this is that while he is a child he has a fascination of Dragons, and this is kind of really a big deal to setting his character up. But that is really the only thing of REAL interest to his childhood (other than little bits that can sprinkled in for depth throughout).
So first part to my question - should I just set this up as "chapter 1" is him as a child, blah blah blah? Then "chapter 2" is him grown up, blah blah blah?
Or should I have him as a child be a sort of prologue, and then "chapter 1" be him as an adult, blah blah blah.
Or... does someone have a different suggestion all together?
I appreciate the input and advice peeps!
