Snippet:
A self-published author and a book designer,
Deborah L Perdue is the author of five books. With a B.A. in English, she has
been writing ever since childhood. She writes spiritual articles and blog posts
on gratitude. She has a daily practice of writing to keep herself engaged and
motivated. In her free time, she enjoys taking walks with her dogs, nature,
swimming, and artwork.
Deborah, what is your
favorite childhood memory?
We were at a good movie. My parents came and told us we
had to go. I was mad. It turns out they had brought two horses to us from Utah;
we, all 3 daughters, loved horses. So they introduced us to the two beautiful
mares. I wasn’t mad anymore that they yanked us out of a movie! (LOL).
What developed your love for writing?
I have always written since I was a young child.
Journaling was something I’ve always done. Then, in school, I continued writing
and reading wonderful authors. I was in Advanced Placement English in high
school and wrote poetry and essays. Eventually, I studied and received a B.A.
Cum Laude in English (emphasis: Creative
writing), and I’ve been writing ever since.
What makes Gratitude your favorite topic to write about?
I discovered the power of a gratitude practice when a
minister gave us all blank journals and told us to write 5 things we were
grateful for every day for 40 days and that our lives would change for the
better. It worked. My artist Tara Thelen and I created the first Grace of
Gratitude Journal with hand drawn watercolors and inspiring thoughts from me,
and blank pages to invite the reader to write their own thoughts of
thanksgiving. I continue to share gratitude in my books and gratitude journals.
Two of my books are 365 Daily Guides to prompt people on what they can be
grateful for. I am thankful to the minister who got my creative juices flowing
on the topic of gratitutde. It is my heart’s calling. Monday through Friday I
send out emailed Daily Gratitude Reflections which you can sign up for at my
website’s home page www.graceofgratitude.com.
I also send out a monthly e-newsletter. If I’m feeling down, I find that
writing my Daily Gratitude Reflection for my gratitude tribe picks up my
spirits, without fail.
Which is the best book to start reading habit with?
Wow, how can I pick one?! Pick a genre you like; for
instance, I like modern psychological fiction – one author I love is Jodi
Picoult. Start there, read all of her works, and then find similar authors.
Your thoughts on conventional vs. self-publishing? What route did you
choose and why?
I chose self-publishing because it allows us to have
freedom and get our books out there, rather than trying to get a traditional
publisher to take notice and take us on.
How much importance do you place on book titles and covers?
I am also a book designer! (www.illuminationgraphics.com)!
So, I place more importance than most people on cover design! It is very
important to have a professional, powerful book cover. An engaging title is
also crucial and good, and it is best when you can put important keywords into
a title and/or subtitle too.
In what ways do you think your book, Grace of Gratitude Journal, will
influence the lives of its readers?
The Grace of Gratitude Journal has been published for
quite a while. I hear from many that it has greatly impacted their lives in
beneficial ways to start a gratitude practice using my beautifully illustrated,
inspiring journal. Some have said they don’t want to write in it because it is
so gorgeous yet that’s its purpose. So I invite everyone who has one to use it.
From where did you get the idea for writing “Daily Gratitude
Reflections: 365 Guides to Great-Full Living Volume 2”?
As I said, I have a subscriber list (you can sign up at http://www.graceofgratitude.com). I
have been writing thoughts of gratitude Mon-Fri for over 7 years! I picked the
cream of the crop in both of my Daily Gratitude Reflections books for
these 365 daily guides.
What, according to you, are the key ingredients of a successful book?
I feel the author needs to have passion for their genre.
If the author is passionate about their subject/genre, like I am, for the
practice of gratitude, the readers will feel the sincerity and react very
positively.
What is the sweetest fan mail that you have ever received?
Here is a short one that I particularly love:
“Keep the vibrations of love flowing! The Daily Gratitude Reflections that
Deborah Perdue writes and sends daily are deep and wondrous and touch my heart.
-P. Singh
When are you most inspired to write, and what are some things you do to
motivate yourself when you’re stuck in a rut? Since I have a daily
practice of writing, that always keeps me engaged and motivated. Like I said,
writing daily gratitude reflections always inspires me and uplifts me if I’m
feeling stuck.
What were some misconceptions you had about the book and publishing
industry before you became a published author?
I didn’t realize that marketing is so important, even if
you have a traditional publisher. Your “job” is not over when you are done
writing a book. Getting the word out is very important.
What other things, apart from writing, do you enjoy doing?
Taking walks with my dog, nature, swimming, artwork, photography, my book
design business, friends and family, and spirituality.
What are some of your plans for the future? Are you working on a new
project at the moment?
I plan to write another book about Radical Gratitude. I
have started it. I feel there is always something you can find to be grateful
for, even when something harrowing happens in your life. I will use examples
from myself and others to show how to find gratitude in a tough situation.
