Thank you for meeting me. I’m sure, after I’m done with my presentation,
you’ll see why I deserve this loan, and how big this business can really
become. This bank will be pleased with the results, and I’m eager to prove
myself. Okay. Parents. What is their job? Well, they’re meant to mould their
children into decent members of society, who contribute to the positive
good, right? Well, it doesn’t always work out, does it? Sometimes people
grow up wrong. It’s not necessarily the parents’ fault, and I doubt I can do
anything for those people. There’s something in their psychology or
neurology that I am not equipped to handle. My business is designated for
the people whose caregivers screwed up somewhere along the way. They made
the wrong choices, or taught them bad lessons, or maybe they just weren’t
around. These people have a ton of potential, but they’ve not learned to
want to reach it, let alone actually reach it. That’s where I come in. I’ve
had dozens of boyfriends over the years, and I was about halfway through
them when I realized why I kept breaking up with them. I was naturally
attracted to the ones you might call projects. They fell into this category
of people who were messed up by their childhood, rather than having been
born with problems that I’m not qualified to deal with. I fixed them. I
fixed them, and then I broke up with them, and moved onto the next. A few
months ago, I got curious, so I started looking them all up on social media.
Every single one of them is doing great. They didn’t relapse into their old
bad habits, but kept their lives going on track. I corrected their behavior,
and I have proof right here. Take a look at these posts over the course of
the last two years. Now, I know what you’re thinking. How am I going to make
money off of this? Who will be my client base? I intend to market to
girlfriends, regretful parents, and even friends. It is also not outside the
realm of possibility that such unproductive people will want help turning
their lives around, and come to me themselves. I’ve spoken with a lot of
people already, and many of them have not been able to find help from
professionals. Therapists are generally concerned with helping their
patients with their internal feelings, and that’s supposed to help their
behavior, but I’ve found that they’re not so great at following through with
making sure that behavior does indeed change. Their patients sit in a room
with them, have their talks, and then they part ways. I’m there, I’m on the
frontlines. I will live with these people, and watch them go about their
daily lives. I can make suggestions as they become necessary, and I can
formulate exercises for them to complete. I already have a name for myself.
You can call me The Sculptor, because I carve out all the unwanted character
traits, and leave only the pure version of the person that my clients want
to be. I’ve thought a lot about this, and I think I have a really clear
business plan laid out for you, which you can read at your leisure. Until
then, any questions?

- 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.
