Writing every day will help you maintain the energy of the work, but the most important thing about your first novel is finishing it. So often, I meet aspiring writers who have begun a dozen books (but never finished) or are a few chapters into their project and are looking for advice about agents and query letters.
Finishing a novel teaches you so much about structure, plot, character arcs, stamina... Often, the first book you finish won't be the first one you sell, but that's okay--that's how we learn!
