They call me Little Dog. My mom says my grandpa was Big Dog, or maybe his
grandpa? Or maybe his grandpa’s grandpa’s grandpa’s grandpa’s grandpa? I can’t
remember it. It’s not my real name, that would be silly. I am this many years
old tomorrow, and I’m so excited. They tell me I’m going to be getting a table
for my birthday. They seem pretty happy about it. I guess grownups all have
their own table, and when you get your own, it means you’re one of them. I
don’t know if I’m old enough to use my own table, but I see my mommy and daddy
using them all the time. They tap, tap, tap on it, and pretty pictures come up
on the top of it. I hear them arguing with each other about whether I’m
allowed to have a style to go with it. I don’t really care what style it is,
as long as it works. My big sister has a table, but she doesn’t have my name
anymore. When I’m old enough, our parents will have another brother and
sister, and he’ll be named Little Dog instead of me. That’s what my sister
says she used to be called. I don’t want to not be the Little Dog anymore. I
mean I don’t want someone else to have my name. I like being a Little Dog. I
like to crawl on the floor and bark at people. They seem to think that it’s
cute, but if I stop being the dog then I won’t be able to do it anymore. My
dad doesn’t get to see my dog game very much anymore because he always works
in the big office. They sometimes take me to see everyone, and all the people
in the blue jackets seem to think I’m pretty cool. Okay, bye!

- About Me
My name is Nick Fisherman III. It's not my real name, but that's not because I'm trying to hide from my former agency, or something. I named myself after someone I've known for most of my life, and he chose it in honor of his late best friend. I took up writing when I found myself failing 8th grade science, and realized I might never reach my dream of becoming a biochemist, a meteorologist, and a quantum physicist. I started developing my canon after a scouting trip to an island inspired what I thought would be my first novel. I founded this website upon the advice of many people, who told me I needed to get my work out there, and not wait for an agent to accept my manuscript. You can expect one new story every day. Weekdays are for microstories, which are one or two paragraphs long. They're usually only thematically linked, so you won't have to read one to understand another, but they do sometimes tell a combined story. Sundays are for my continuous longer story, The Advancement of Mateo Matic, which I started in the beginning, and won't end until 2066. Saturdays are for long series, most of which take place in the same universe as Mateo, and add to the larger mythology.
