| Perceptual Plazz |
Perceptual Plazz was born to
write, to put unbelievable life experiences into words that touch the hearts of
those who read them. She has been writing all her life, whether it was to
accept reality or cope with it. After battling for her life three times, she
came back stronger than ever before and made a promise to herself to never stop
writing. Perceptual Plazz came up with her pen name when she realized the power
behind life’s experiences and perceptions and how they can alter the way we
live life. Now she carries this methodology into her poetry, articles, and
books. She is the author, poet, and columnist growing by the day. Find her work
in newspapers, academic journals, and magazines. Professionally, she has won
awards for excellence in her writing. To learn more about the growing writer
you can read her story in her latest release Perseverance Is My Power
(available on Amazon). It’s a non-fiction inspirational memoir where she
explains her encounters with death and how she overcame them. In the meantime,
find her posting daily on her social media profiles and Blog.

What are some of the most valuable
lessons you have learned from writing? I have learned a
variety of things from writing. But the most important things fall between the
lines of patience, persistence, and faith. I am one of the most impatient
people you’ll meet but something about writing makes me a more patient person
and I’ve learned to stay dedicated even when I have other things going on in my
life. Lastly, I learned to believe in my work because if I don’t nobody will!
Please tell our readers something
about yourself. I am from Arizona
Who or what inspired you to become
an author? Honestly, I never really thought about becoming an
author. I’ve always written poetry and articles, but it wasn’t until my last
near-death experience that I thought about writing a book. The idea was the
only thing that kept me sane through all of it. I never had anyone in my ear
telling me to write this book, deep down I just felt I had to.
Could you please give us a blurb
about your present or upcoming book? Perseverance Is
My Power, my first book, is a true story about overcoming death three times and
other hardships in my life. My father neglected me and I searched for love and
purpose. I did find it after all but you’ll have to read it to find out how! I
will tell you just a little about my next book. I always tie in my three P’s:
Perseverance, Perception, and Power. This next book, I am going to incorporate
them but in a way that my generation of women (millennials) can understand.
Sometimes it’s better to get advice or relate to someone the same age as you.
The advice can be interpreted a different way.
How can our readers get in touch
with you? Oh! Several ways. I am all about
communication. You can add me on my social media profiles, comment on posts,
directly message me, or you can email me. If none of those work for you, follow
my blog and post your comments there. Either way, I will respond and I love
when my readers talk to me! ❤️
What advice would you give someone
who is thinking about writing a book? How long can a
reply be? **laughs** Gosh, where do I begin? Well, first of all, do your
research. I don’t mean just going on Google and typing in “How do I publish a
book?” I mean researching as in networking with fellow writers and authors.
While Google is amazing and is resourceful for various things in the publishing
process, it can’t offer you authentic personal relationships or connections
with actual authors. Find one you can relate to or in your genre, ask them if
you can have their advice and ask them questions while you’re on your way.
You’d be surprised how much feedback you’ll get and how sweet they are! Hint:
You can always reach out to me. Next, set a budget. Get the numbers straight
and all your ducks in a row when it comes to finances. Leave some cushion for
extra expenses that may pop-up because you don’t want to hold up your process
because you ran out of funding.
