What Day is It? By Morgan Mandel

Now that I'm unemployed, I lose track of the days. Often I have to ask myself, What day is it? Then, something I did the day before or plan on doing today clues me in and I know where time is.

When writing a book, it's good to keep in mind that your readers also need to know what day of the week it is, also what season, what year. The place in time is just as important as setting, goal and conflict.

So, throw in some clues every now and then to ground your readers in what day it is.

Can you think of any books where you know right away what day it is? Or day of the week?

I'm wondering if Ground Hog Day was a book before a movie.
