What is your name and/or pen name?
Clifton: My name
is Clifton Pettyjohn.
What genre do you write?
Clifton: I write
self-help books packed with practical and biblical principles and stories.
What made you want to be a writer?
Clifton: I always
found words to be powerful. I often say that words are often misused weapons
and tools. So I simply decided that I wanted to use the power and influence of
words to free myself while educating and inspiring others.
How do you feel about the writers’
community?
Clifton: I
believe the writers’ community is filled with diverse creative people that have
a rare ability of captivating an audience with the technology of storytelling
on paper. I also feel that there is much space for other writers who have yet
to understand that they too have a story to tell that others want to
experience.
Have you or will you be willing to
collaborate with other authors?
Clifton: I have
yet to collaborate with other authors however if the opportunity presents
itself and it would be beneficial to everyone involved I would definitely
consider doing so.
Tell us about your book and if it’s
upcoming or already published.
Clifton: I often
describe “From Stagnation to Transformation” as a revolutionary tool for
success and purpose. It is divided into 21 days and deals with the subject of
wholeness in all core areas of one’s life. I used the term “actuation” in the
subtitle because that is my goal for every reader, that the principles outlined
in this book will prompt one to action; for principles void of action always
yields stagnation.
Is your book or upcoming book an eBook,
paperback, or both?
Clifton: My book
is available in eBook, paperback and audio book formats.
Is this your first book?
Clifton: Yes this
is the first of many.
Are you planning to write more?
Clifton: Yes, I’m working on my second book now and I plan on
writing more after that one.
Is there anything you would say to
other writers that want to write and publish a book?
Clifton: My
response is very simple and that advice is just like NIKE says “just do it”! We
spend too much time over thinking and thinking ourselves out of doing new
things beyond our space of comfort. Understand there are people waiting for
your creative expression; once you realize that, you realize that you have
something valuable to offer to the world.
