I enjoy a bit of writing, both poetry and prose. I NEVER finish it though
and often find, months after the event, some passage I thought sounded good, but that couldn't fit into a story. E.g. today I chanced upon

"'Fetid scum!' he shouted. 'Filth-encrusted pisschunks from hell!'. The rabbits surrounding him looked bemused and twitchy. That was part of why he hated them, but only part. They also swore bloody oaths in whispering voices, changed shape wantonly and conspired about him behind his back.

He swayed angrily and gnashed his teeth with uncontained bile, flecks of saliva spilling forth. Attempting to crush one of the mangy rodents with his own body, he lurched forward, only to overbalance and fall face-first onto the floor. He was far too angry to give thanks to the padding of his surroundings that preserved his nose."

in my notebook.

Sad to say
I'm not sure I can remember. It was quite a while ago I wrote it.

I think it was one of those story ideas that fizzles out at "so there's this crazy guy, right...".
