No, even better bill by the day or even weeks if projects are big enough. It's silly mind trick but seems to work fairly well with clients, everything is more relaxed because they don't feel like having to pay for every minute of your work, it's much easier to negotiate the good price that way (at least for me, since I'm from southeast Europe, my rates are probably on a cheaper side here)
