the meaning of "I won't be coming back" Reading Strictly for cash by James Hadley Chase,I've come across the sentence. "I won't be coming back." is in the context below. "Don't say it," I broke in. "I've quit fighting. I'm not finishing up half blind and my brains leaking blood. That's out. You say Miami is tough. This guy says it's a soft touch. I guess I'll go and find out for myself. Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm going. Sorry, Tom, but that's the way it is. And don't think I'm ungrateful." Roche lifted his thin shoulders. "Okay, if that's how you feel about it, then go to Miami. Have a look around. Then come back here. I can do with you. I'll give you three months before I look for someone else. Think about it, Johnny. A third share and a free hand, and only Alice and me to bother you. Think about it." I didn't have to think about it. "Don't wait for me, Tom," I said. "You fix yourself up. I won't be coming back."

Both are fairly similar however there is a slight difference. I will (not) - used for simple future, usually one act that will be done/not done once. I will (not) be - used for continuous future, an act that will be continuously done/not done in the future. Generally ‘I will’ places more emphasis on the doer of the action where as ‘I will be’ places more emphasis on the act being done. These are subtleties and this isn’t always true so I wouldn’t worry too much about the differences!

They are basically the same meaning. With 'I won't be ...-ing' the emphasis is on 'my intention is not to'. It is used to mean something like "I have made a decision to do this". With 'I won't ...', there is not that suggestion of a deliberate choice.

What's the meaning of "will be (doing)" here? There is also the expression with the almost same structure:I won't come back. What's the difference in meaning between I won't be coming back and I won't come back? What does the author want to mean by I won't be coming back, instead of I won't come back? Thank you!
