Over the course of my writing journey I’ve come to quite a number of restarts—points where I’ve felt the need to pivot in my writing mindset, brand, or approach. Well, this time it’s a combination of all three. After a proverbial kick in the pants to whip myself into shape, I’ve decided all three of my approaches needed to change.
So…what’s different this time?
Well, for starters, this website for one. This will be my new online home. I’ve found myself in need to a little slice of space not controlled by any person or company (see social media). This site will be one part blog, one part author site. Overall, this will be the very best place to get the latest and greatest of what’s going on with me personally and my books. If that sounds interesting, I would encourage you to subscribe to my newsletter.
Another big difference is a bit of a rebrand. Moving forward, my fiction will now publish under the name O. T. Goldman. Some of my older work can still be found under my full name Ozias Goldman. Maybe one of these days I’ll get around to updating that matter, but as you’ll soon see, I’ve been incredibly busy lately; I’m not exactly sure when that will be high enough on the priority list to tackle.
Perhaps the biggest change, and indeed the thing that makes this feel like a new beginning in truth, is my renewed commitment to writing. I’ve meandered along in my writing journey for far too long. Well, maybe that’s a bit strong, but the truth is I haven’t made the progress I could and should have. I haven’t written consistently. I have read consistently—so that’s good, I guess–but I have not read in the way a writer does when studying the craft. Overall, I’ve changed this—in a big way. I challenged myself this past June to make some major changes and see what could come from it.
The result?
Two finished novels, one novel 70% complete, two finished novellas, and the full revisions and edits of two novels I’ve sat on for far too long. I’m happy to announce, all six of these projects will be coming out over the coming months. One story—my novella titled The Blood Raven—Is already available exclusive to my newsletter subscribers. Details for my other releases will be coming very soon!
All that said, I am beyond excited at this new beginning. Hope you enjoy the awesome stories I’ve written and the numerous others coming in the very near future.
Till next time
