Unless the world building IS the story

I still feel like it'd screw with your process to suddenly have faces to go with all the characters in your head. Like suddenly you're writing to specific people when before they were your own creations, just in your head.

Reply to Epilogues by Ok-Dirt8743

I think you're looking at epilogues the wrong way (if there is a "wrong" way). Epilogues aren't meant to be an ending; epilogues are what happens AFTER the ending. So if it feels like an abrupt ending, that's because it's not an ending. It's just a "Hey, this is what happened later, after the story was over."
