frustratedpilot...I'm very glad I'm not doing Nanowrimo.
Overnight I had a weird dream I was a character in a Harry Potter side story, set at the same time as Chamber of Secrets. I was a stereotypically brash American exchange student, making the other Gryffyndor (probably spelled wrong, not going to look it up to check, as I don't have the books, can't play DVDs on this compy, and don't want to disturb Dad's nap) students wonder why I wasn't sorted to Ravenclaw. I treated my wand like a cowboy's Colt .45 pistol and generally played up my not-Britishness. My schtick: possessing animals and using them to spy on the other students and faculty.
Perhaps it's an okay idea, but except for the movies, I'm not a Potter fan as such. I don't feel an urge to actually write it, as I know I'm competing with millions of fanfic'ers who can do it better.
But like that incident with the bowl of geraniums in Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, if I could figure out WHY I had that dream, I could probably understand a lot more about who I am.
