Blake Nelson: Hello. My name is Blake Nelson. My actual name is Blakesley Scott Nelson, which I always thought sounded a little pretentious, so I always just stuck with Blake. I once asked my dad why he named me Blakesley Scott Nelson, and he said, "So when you become a famous writer everyone can call you B. Scott Fitznelson," which I thought was very funny, especially since F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of my favorite writers.
