This is my 'promotional picture' take 342. (It took me ages to get one that looked 'cute.')
Cute? This is what I really look like...
(This is me 'on the pull')
How I wrote my novel 'Tasting the Wind,' and my ongoing mission into cyberspace to seek out publication...
This is my 'promotional picture' take 342. (It took me ages to get one that looked 'cute.')
A few blogs ago I had a bit of a rant about what I considered to be duff advice about how to create characters in novels, and wrote a skit called 'The DaDisney Code,' in an attempt to spread an internet ruimour that Dan Brown based his characters on the seven dwarves. Maybe it was a little silly, a little surreal. But it was just a bit of fun.
I have since found that I did not invent the connection, and would have known that if I had been a little more attentive in my reading of the Da Vinci Code.
Apparently there is a long passage which claims that Walt Disney subscribed to the ideas expressed in Da Vinci (i.e.that the church suppressed information about Mary Magdalene having a child by Jesus- sorry one person who hasn't seen/read it) and sprinkled his films with references to this belief.
Unlikely? Then why does this picture, the 'Penitent Magdalene' by seventeenth-century artist Georges de la Tour...
