This month, as I did last year, I’m participating in the AtoZ Blogging Challenge. The first post is A, the next is B and so on every day this month, except Sundays. Last year, my theme was Scotland. This year, my theme is The Writing Life. Check back here every day this month to follow along and find out what I’ve learned in the last year. For instance:
Q is for Quotidian. There’s a word that doesn’t get used much these days. It means recurring daily, which is what you should be doing as an author. Writing, recurring daily.
It’s a goal, one I admit I don’t achieve, either. But it’s always in the back of my mind. On days that I don’t write, I feel like I’ve wasted time that could have been used to accomplish something — word count, revisions, editing, any part of the process that leads to a finished, publish-ready book. Yeah, I’ve got it bad. I’ll bet you do, too.
So remember this word: quotidian. It’s a good goal.
