#WritersCoffeeClub 7 Do you have an epilogue in any of your writing? How do you feel about them? I've been blurring the line between denouement and epilogue. The former takes place before the end of the story and the latter immediately after, but where to place that end point? I want to tie up loose ends and provide a small peek at the new normal, but I now believe that's all denouement. Epilogue feels like it could always begin with a structure like "20 years later..." Am I right?
Matcha Daemon is doing voiceover while he and Elise walk in NYC. I'm pausing because my disappointment is like a 300-lb basement gamer on the couch right next to me, stinking up the living room. Gonna write some of this #denouement bullshit because I'm feeling that it's going to be very, very bad.
David, Sssindy, Tau, and the Better Angels gathered in the lounge for the season finale of *Rogue Android*. The protagonist raced against the clock to save another android that had been abandoned on an asteroid.
Everyone watched with rapt attention, popcorn & drinks forgotten, as the android feverishly pushed a little shuttlecraft beyond its limits trying to reach the asteroid in time. At the moment of #denouement, the display wall went blank.
"What happened?!" screamed the Angels.

#denouement of life.

“But no matter the type of #book he’s talking about, what (#Fried) is missing is #theexperience. You’re supposed to read not in spite of the digressions and diversions that stand between you and the #denouement, but because of them; the little things aren’t extraneous but essential...what you come out of a book with isn’t always supposed to be instrumental at all... You read to read; you don’t read to have read"
