N. Daniel currently resides in suburban Minneapolis with his wife and dogs. He is self-employed, working independently as a writer, poet and graphic artist. When he isn't creating you can find him listening to music. The author finds solace in song as his post traumatic stress disorder makes it difficult for him to watch films or television shows. He finds the depravation of media makes it easier to grasp new concepts and ideas as he isn't constantly immersed and bombarded by the work of others. He often feels that his political neutrality and the absence of popular culture in his life makes him boring though he does catch up on new content by reading the news and browsing social media. ...more

It can shape the thoughts of not only the characters in the story, but also the audience. As a writer you are forced to think in new and unexpected ways, dream impossible dreams, to bring your readers to conclusions that they never considered or thought possible. A good writer is traversing the unexplored corners of his/her own mind and crafting the results of their exploits into something valuable.(less)

Do something unique, volunteer, go to great limits to show people you love them, travel, spend a lot of time alone and then go out into the world to rediscover how lovely people are. Writing isn't about ability or knowledge. It is about experience and passion. You can be a Shakespeare with the mind of a thesaurus but if your heart isn't in it, if you don't feel it in your personal experience, you might as well be writing copy for the back of a cereal box.(less)

Quotes by N. Daniel  (?)

“What we needed was a transition from a world where the rule is “It's us or them,” to a world where “us” and “them” are no longer separated by a conjunction. To take it one step further, a world where there is no them. Just us.”
N. Daniel, Corners Untouched by Madness: A Personal Journey of Overcoming Mental Illness

“The most beautiful thing about humanity is that we have the power to transmute our pain into wisdom. The most tragic thing about humanity is that we are so unwilling to be hurt.”

“During the past few years I had come to understand that there were two kinds of perfection. The first was the natural cycle in which we live, where things rise and fall like the changing of the tides; a perfection which nevertheless contained death, putrefaction and filth. The second, an imaginary place that was created perfect and sentenced to remain so in an impermanent world, as clear and brittle as glass, for the ideal was a place, a locus, even when its template applied to living beings.”
N. Daniel, Corners Untouched by Madness: A Personal Journey of Overcoming Mental Illness

“I felt as though she was the answer to a problem that needed solving and I was too shy to ask the question.”

“What were numbers other than abstract concepts we used to describe reality? I felt that using numbers to describe people was as silly as using technical language to describe spinach dip. Humans, I imagined, were not meant to be predictable, and if they were, nothing new or innovative would ever be accomplished.”
