Mozart won't let me type. 😂 This makes it so hard to get any stories done.

That said, we've been having wild nights. This woman was screaming outside our window and this morning, more screaming so I went outside because I wasn't sure if she needed help. She was throwing out all sorts of expletives and degrading words. There were people outside, and they said she tried breaking into their car and into the building and they were calling the police.
I hate calling the police because when Emory was badly hurt, I called and was on hold for almost ten minutes. It was frustrating because people were trying to talk with me and I could barely hear the recorded messages as I was waiting for emergency to pick up. I'm just grateful for all the souls that stayed with me until the police came.
I have never wanted to hug strangers more than that night. I usually don't have that overwhelming relief that makes you just go boneless and want to touch complete strangers, but I was so grateful that so many people had come to make sure we were okay. I hope the Goddess gives them each a little extra magick in their lives for their kindness.
Writing Update:
Untitled Werewolf: Chapter 1. I feel stuck, but the story in my head has changed. I do have the fairies and some good old fashion mythology in this story, but my "creature-feature" has changed from being a fairy into maybe being something a little more Godly? Truthfully I had a scene in my head and that's where I'm starting from. I had over 15000 words written the first time and my flashdrive ate it! So now it's time to finally try rewriting from what I remember, but even then I was stuck on chapter 4. I need some daydreaming to get unstuck.
Untitled Cop: I had a scene in my head with a vague idea so I started working on the scene. The more I worked on it, the more supernatural it got. I guess I really like the supernatural but I need to think how I really want to do this. Oh, and I think my cop has now become an independent detective. What am I even doing with this story? Seriously. This might just be a passion project.
Actually all my stories might just be passion projects.
Untitled Dom/sub: I really don't know what rules I want to make for this reality. I have the idea. I'm on chapter 3. I just need to get this first draft done so I can see what needs to be fixed. I have super long chapters that I want to work on.
I might make all my chapters too long. I want to get them from 5000+ words down to 3,500-4,000 words. Do people read stories with long chapters?
It feels good having visions for original work. I wrote mostly AUs anyways and people complain that AUs are too outside the canon. So yeah, might as well just write my own worlds, my own people, my own visions into something that a wider audience might enjoy.
