Having a prologue can get the reader into the story more than just a normal chapter could. It's also the same with using other things than 'said.' It would drive me NUTS to read every single line after dialogue with 'said.' And not describing characters is a bad rule as well. I'd look to know what the character looks like. : ) So, don't always listen to what the big writers say. I’d like to say that don’t always follow what big writers say.
