GRUMPY'S PROFILE

The name Grumpy was an old CB handle I used back in the days before the invention of cell phones. Nowadays, us truckers use Blue tooth, because we can't afford the $10.000.00 fine if we're caught using our phones. By now, you've guessed my occupation as a truck driver...and wannabe writer. Hobbies, if I had time for them: fishing, golfing, driving my 1970 SX Cutlass (aka Gutless) and relaxing on the beach with family. Sounds like a dating site, doesn't it? Except that I'm happily married, with a herd of horses, a pack of dogs and two cats. What do I hope to accomplish with my writing? To tell stories that trigger emotion and leaves my readers wanting more. How's that working out so far? Talk about frustrated. I was getting a little peeved...but then...slowly, my persistence paid off. To the point where my readership doubled overnight. Literally, the number of visitors to my site went from 1 to 2 in one day. But, I hung in there and was rewarded when I wrote "The Stray Cat." Everyone loved it. Will I continue to write? Yes, as long as I have an audience, I plan on being here everyday when they show up.
