What happens in your world when the sun (or suns) set? When the light turns to dark?

Does the mood change? Does the tempo change? Do your characters change? Do they have rituals or routines they do when the sun sets? Do they sleep? When do they sleep?

Muse Food – Sunrises And Sunsets And Other Transitions

By Cynthia Sax on October 6, 2025

Day turns to night. Or night turns to day.

Sunrises and sunsets can be powerful times in our stories. Consider setting an important scene during them.
