If this is fiction, and you are unknown, your book should start with Chapter 1. No matter how clever you are, readers don't really give a rip about your process. Just start the story the best you can.

Prologues are common in certain genres like fantasy. You're far more likely to get readers who skip them compared to ones who get excited about reading the prologue. And an introduction? When you have a few bestsellers to your name, your loving audience will eat that stuff up; but until you've got bestsellers, introductions are for tools.
