Today, I want to share a glimpse behind the curtain of my writing world. As an author who wears the pen name Othello Cody Verrocchio, I often asked about the inspiration behind this unique alias.

Othello carries a sense of drama and depth, while Cody Verrocchio pays homage to artistic heritage. It reflects my commitment to infuse both drama and artistry into the stories I tell.

One facet of my writing persona stands out prominently - when I sign as "God's Journalist." This isn't merely a moniker; it's a profound declaration of purpose. As someone passionate about spreading the Gospel of Jesus, I see my writing as a divine calling. Each word penned under this signature is a testament to my commitment to sharing the teachings and love of Christ through the art of storytelling.

Being "God's Journalist" means infusing every story, every character, and every plot twist with the values and lessons found in the Bible. It's about creating narratives that inspire, uplift, and resonate with the profound messages of faith, hope, and love.

Hello Again Readers,
I wanted to share a bit about the inspiration behind my pen names, 'Cody' and 'Othello.' You see, both of them are clever derivatives of my given name, Otto. Now, being someone with a background in humanities and a major in Art, Leonardo da Vinci has always been a significant influence on my creative journey.
Interestingly, da Vinci had a mentor named Verrocchio, and since I draw inspiration from the artistic realms, I decided to incorporate this connection into my pen name. 'Verrocchio' became a meaningful surname choice, reflecting not only my artistic endeavours but also a subtle homage to the mentorship relationship that da Vinci had with Verrocchio.
So, when you come across 'Othello Cody Verrocchio' in my writing, know that it carries a touch of personal history and artistic inspiration. I hope you find this connection intriguing as we explore the realms of creativity together.
I wanted to shed some light on how I approach the use of computerized tools in my writing journey. To me, ChatGPT and Grammarly are like my chisels in the realm of creativity. They help refine and shape my ideas, much like a sculptor wielding a chisel to carve intricate details into marble.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of these tools is deeply intertwined with the skill and intent of the user. Just as in the hands of Michelangelo, a chisel transforms a block of marble into a masterpiece, the impact of AI and other PC tools is significantly influenced by the creative touch of the user.
Having been immersed in the world of computing since I received a VIC 20 back in 1980, I've witnessed the evolution of these tools. They're not standalone entities but rather extensions of creative minds, enhancing our ability to express ideas in novel and exciting ways.
Best, Otto
