Je me suis passé la fantaisie d’écrire un roman.
This question relates to:French lesson "Passer/se passer/se passer de - the different meanings of the verb "passer" in French"
Asked 1 year ago

Hi Bill,
I am not sure if this is from one of our exercises but it is an interesting use of 'se passer' so thank you.
Se passer la fantaisie de faire quelque chose = satisfaire un caprice
I would say the English might be to indulge a fancy ? here, to write a novel.
Hope this helps!
