Hi there, my name is Art Nalley and this is my beginning attempt at blogging which is a direct result of some relatives and friends telling me I should. I have been writing short stories for years and sharing them with my family and friends. Most of the stuff I write about is my life experiences and believe me I have had a few. I will start off by telling if you are looking for perfect grammar, spelling or punctuation it would be best to just close this site and move on. Some of my errors are mistakes and some on purpose to stay within character. Just go with the flow as sometimes it is fun trying to figure out what I was trying to say. Don’t be surprised if you find that some of my material has changed in small ways as I sometimes go back and add to previous postings. The idea is after all to build material to eventually use in a book and sometimes it needs just a little more. It is usually a result of someone reading one of my short stories and asking, well what about this? So just because you read it once doesn’t mean there won’t be some added material the next go around.
Some say that a few of my stories remind them of Lewis Gizzard’s style of writing and I am honored each time I hear that as he was among the best of the southern writers. He is my writing hero and I have read every one of his books. There is no greater feeling then to make someone laugh.
If I continue with this blog you will note that most of my productivity is during the winter months as the summer is for new experiences. However, I am finding that as I grow older I am writing more often. Some of that is due to the encouragement of my fiancée who is always telling me that is some funny stuff Art you need to write that down. I am not sure if she really thinks it is funny or she just wants me to go back downstairs and let her watch Desperate Housewife’s in peace. My stories cover a wide variety of subjects from Buying that First Condom to the Mennonite and the Shed. I do a lot of growing up in the south and relationship stuff. If any of you have women figured out drop me a line. I am always looking for new subjects so if you have any you would like to hear Bubba’s viewpoint on something just let me know.
