You don't know me, and I'd prefer if we keep it that way.

Hello, if you're reading this, well, thank you for taking the time to travel all the way across the internet to reach me here. My name is J.R. Warden, and this is my first blog post.

Now, you're probably confused by that first italic line up there. It's only half-true, because I know that you will eventually get to know me and vice versa if you so choose.

Before we get started, I want to be open about a thing or two. First and foremost, J.R. Warden is a pseudonym. While you won't find much about me on the internet, I assure you that I'm a very real person with a deep love for all things fantastical. If you Google me, you won't find much but this website. If you scry me in your bathroom mirror, maybe a pimple.

Jests aside, I've chosen to remain anonymous so that I can speak freely and without reservation. As an author, I understand the importance of privacy and the freedom to explore topics that may be controversial or outside the norm of your public persona. Rest assured, however, that I won't be using my anonymity to spread negativity or hate. That would be counter productive to my goals for this blog. Instead, I hope to use this platform to share my insights, spark discussions, and learn from you, my readers.

I want this blog to be a space where we can learn and grow together. Whether it's delving into the rich lore of our favorite fantasy series, exploring the philosophical underpinnings of our favorite stories, or discussing the fascinating world of folklore and magic, I hope to provide engaging and thought-provoking content that inspires us all.

So, without further ado, I would like to thank you for checking out this blog. I'm looking forward to many things on this journey, and please don't hesitate to share your thoughts and ideas with me. Let's learn, explore, and create together!
