It would certainly make for a more interesting introduction. My name is Benjamin, and I love to tell stories of far away and the impossible. I enjoy a good Sci-Fi space opera or time travel novel. Additionally, I love reading fantasy novels. My first introduction into fantasy was Brandon Sanderson, and I fell in love with his books. I simply love Sanderson's Rules of Magic.I write all my stories with clean language. When it comes to writing, a common piece of advice I've run into is to be "authentic". Stephen King called it "telling the truth", which in my humble opinion is just a euphemism for "use profanity". Well I disagree. It is so disappointing to have to put down a really good book because I can't take all the swear words that keep popping up from the page. Can one be "authentic" as well as clean? Why not? This is science fiction and fantasy; I can make up whatever words the characters use for "harsh language" and it doesn't have to offend me or my readers.view less
