In my previous blog post, I mentioned that I wrote two different epilogues for my book, Crackerjack Bands and Hometown Boosters: The Story of a Minnesota Music Man. I ultimately decided against including either one in the final manuscript.

I wrote the second epilogue in October 2017, shortly after I had attended a writing retreat led by Minneapolis author/teacher/writing coach extraordinaire Kate Hopper. As I write this blog post, I am once again on a retreat with an amazing group of women, led by Kate.

I don't expect to write yet another book epilogue while I'm here, but I am open to exploring other topics that arise during our discussions and exercises.

If you've read my book, Crackerjack Bands and Hometown Boosters: The Story of a Minnesota Man, you may have noticed that it doesn't have a prologue or an epilogue. Originally, it had both.

An earlier draft of the book contained a prologue called Prelude: Des Moines 1931. It told the story of the time the St. Cloud Boys' Band traveled to Des Moines with a brown bear for the 1931 U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce Convention.
