Three Things I do Everyday
By Vincent Zandri
It would be wonderful to tell you that I do nothing all day but write. However, life dictates a less romantic reality. While I write for a living, I also have lots of other …let’s call them distractions…that get in the way.
Example: My teenage sons live with me full-time. They need to eat, and everyday finds me driving to the supermarket for food. Other examples of what I do everyday include, running, training with weights, paying bills, making dinner, you name it. It’s the same stuff we all do as parents.
But in terms of my professional writing life, here are three things I do religiously everyday:
- Without fail, I’ll get up early to a fresh pot of coffee and write fiction. I’ll do this until about ten in the morning, at which time I’ll take a break and head out for a run.
- Being a freelance photojournalist, I spend some time after lunch working on assignments. If I’m under pressure to meet a deadline, I’ll give over more of the day to completing it. I never miss a deadline!
- No one is going to buy your new novel if they don’t know about it. So even though I have an awesome and sexy virtual publicist (Pump Up You Book!), I spend a couple hours everyday marketing via social media, which includes Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and more.
If there were a fourth thing I do religiously it would be head out to my favorite dive and have a beer after work. A fifth thing would be reading. A sixth thing would be playing with my beautiful daughter, Ava. A seventh thing would be thinking of the all places I will travel to. The final thing would be sleeping and dreaming of it all over again tomorrow.

HUH, Glad he spreads the word because this one looks intriguing
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading about Zandri's daily activities. As a parent and writer, I can certainly relate. And his bio is amazing! He is a busy man. I'm glad he brought up the marketing aspect of being a published author because that is the reality today.
