I call it suffering mostly because I never get them into full stories. On the other hand, it's an interesting perspective change - sort of redefining what a beginning and ending need to constitute. Sometimes "in medias res" is fun!

But that, that is the best part. It's such a pick-me-up after a long writer's block, the feeling that you've still got the juice there. God, I just made a document for 'em and filled it up with fifty pages worth. My own little bitlet space~.
