    Welcome to Day #29 of the Nano Wrimo 2018 challenge.

    The 30 day writing challenge is almost over, and where does this author stand in regards to the 50,000 word challenge? It’s a nail-biting, page-turning, word-typing thrill ride that won’t be answered unless you watch this video.

    Thanks again for being a part of this journey and for always supporting my works of fiction.

    Welcome to Day #9 of the Nano Wrimo 2018 challenge.

    This video is a fun and quick one to give a brief update about the writing progress, as well as to introduce the little flare of inspiration that was received from the Nano Wrimo online store to help inspire me through the lengthy process of completing this novel.

    All-in-all, the challenge is a blast, but as an author who aims to Present Facts Through Fiction, my hope is not that I’ll complete the first draft of a novel in 30 days, but that the Lord Jesus will help me to craft something that will move your hearts the way the story has already moved mine.

    Have a wonderful weekend and God bless!

  • Day 7 — Nano Wrimo 2018

    [youtube]4FB2nKVgtzI[/youtube]

     

    The first week of Nano Wrimo 2018 is almost behind us, and things could not have been going any better. First off, I love telling stories and writing them down for people to read and enjoy. More importantly however, is the idea that I hope and pray the books I write will inspire people to look deeper at life and realize that there is so much more to our existence than just working a 9-to-5 job, having a family, and living in a two story home with a wrap-around porch, a white picket fence, and two-and-a-half children.

    C.S. Lewis put it the best when he said, “You do not have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.”

    When we start to understand that life is more than just about the flesh and blood vehicle that we travel around and put so much emphasis on – when we reframe our thinking – we will begin to see life for what it was meant to be. So, yes…I enjoy writing books and have been having a wonderful time challenging myself to write this one in such a small window of time. However, what’s important to me is for the books I write to resonate with my readers on a deeper level, to see the true beauty of life that is much more than skin deep.

    So please, enjoy these small videos I have put together for you during the Nano Wrimo 2018 journey, but I hope that you will stick around to read the books, and see the heart that I am pouring into them. If you haven’t yet started with my debut novel Beyond the Gate, than you can do so now. And when you are done reading, comment down below on what the book meant for you.

    Enjoy,

  • Day 2 — Nano Wrimo 2018

    Day 1 was amazing…now onto the next day of cranking out words like human lungs expel carbon dioxide. (How’s that for an obscure analogy?)

    Day 2 of Nano Wrimo brings it’s own challenges, like early voting, and sleepiness. But it’s okay, folks, because I created a new method to write and stay awake. It’s called “Dance Writing”. Watch the video above to check out what Dance Writing is all about.

    Special shout out to FF5 for the fun new tunes that helped inspire the Dance Writing phenomenon. If you are writing and are using Dance Writing as a method to take writing to the next level, please share your videos with me on Facebook, using the hashtag: DanceWriting.

    Thanks, and happy writing!

    On your mark! Get set! WRITE!

    Day 1 of Nano Wrimo is here, and I have put together another short video to chronicle the experience. Like any race, the onset is super exciting; I am pumped up and writing like a fiend. Who knows what challenges that lay around the bend, but for the time being, the writing is flowing a fountain.

    Special shout out to S.O.C.O.M. for the background music in this video.

    In today’s video, we uncover the tentative working title for the new book, along with a brief synopsis. Watch and find out more.

     

  • Nano Wrimo Introduction

    As an author, I am excited about a new challenge set before. The challenge is called “Nano Wrimo” and stands for National Novel Writing Month. The challenge is that an author will write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. How super exciting! This year, I take the plunge and attempt to pen the next Daniel T. Adams book for you all to enjoy.

    With one day before the launch of Nano Wrimo, I decided to begin chronicling the experience so that you all can join in the journey (and challenge) with me.

    For more information, watch the above video, which is the first of the Nano Wrimo process. Stay tuned for more updates, book title, synopsis, and a lot of other craziness that happens at my writing desk.

    God bless,

    D.T.A.

  • Keep Reading

    As an author – but more so as a dad – I see the need to inspire the youth of America to find the joy in reading, and for the adults to find the joy again. With that being said, I wanted to share this short film that we created as part of my five-year old son’s YouTube channel called “Jumping Jack Productions“. His channel is one in which “Kids Teach Kids” and are the main actors, using their skills and talents to inspire other kids to not be overrun by complacency, or think that it is “cool” to defy education, but rather to stand up and enjoy the creative freedoms that we have. So with that in mind, we created the short film titled, “Keep Reading“.

    Please check out the video. Watch it. Subscribe to the channel. But most importantly share it with the children in your life, both young and old, so that we can inspire the world to reach higher and dream bigger.

    Thanks, and enjoy the show.

  • Rhythmic Writing?

    This latest video blog by Atlanta-based author, Daniel T. Adams continues to chronicle the writing process of his latest novel, Imperceptible. He demonstrates a process he likes to call “Rhythmic Writing”, which is a process of writing that helps whenever the words stop flowing as easily and need to be “beat” out of him. Confused? Rightfully so, but watch this video blog to learn more.

    Thanks and enjoy.
