'Someday? Why not today?'

“Someday is not a day of the week.” -- Janet Dailey

 

Born in May 1944, Dailey said “waiting for someday” was not an option if she was going to fulfill her lifelong dream to actually BE a writer.

And so she did, and was, completing more than 90 novels in just 25 years until her death in December of 2014.   Her books, primarily romances, are widely loved and have sold over 300 million copies in 19 different languages, making her one of the most popular writers throughout the world. 

Many writers tend to procrastinate and usually need a challenge to finally get the ball rolling.  For Dailey it was a challenge to “prove it,” when she said she was disgusted with a lot of romance writing and thought she could do better.   

 

“A challenge is a challenge,” she said, “and while writing is a challenge it’s also a fulfillment.”
