Hello Everyone, its been a long time since ive been on this site. I am working on my book slowly but surely. I Had been off work for the past four months due to a ruptured "Achilles Tendon" that happened on January sixth followed with surgery on January thirteenth. I finally returned to work on Tuesday.. During my time off work one would have thought I would have time to work on my book but I found it hard to concentrate in the living room of our small house while our twin five yeard old girls played, as well as trying to keep my foot elevated to help reduce swelling, its kind of funny the majority of what ive written so far has been done on my lunch breaks at the mine thousands of feet underground..
During my time off though, I did something I am very proud of. I drove to southern California for an interview with a Film Maker By the name of Patrick Rea. He is Making a film/Documentary about "Leonard Knight" and "Salvation Mountain" if any of you have seen the Movie "Into the Wild"? you know "Leonard Knight" and Have seen "Salvation Mountain" During my Interview I told of my life as a transient child and my family as a migrant workers, the producer compared my life to the depression, only the depression I grew up in was from 1983 until 1994.. I mentioned that I had been told that people would not be interested in my story because im not famous. He said "you will be" and also mentioned getting a "Ghost writer" if i wanted. any advice on this?
Please take a look at www.salvationmountainthemovie.com or on face book "salvation mountain the movie" to see this documetary project.. thanks Virgil..
