How Many Suns have you seen in Life? You might say just one

Writer's picture: Warren BrownWarren Brown

The Sun has been shining above,

Since and before the day you were born.

The Sun will continue to shine,



The Sun Glows for All Lifeforms

Every day, even when you are gone.


How many Suns have you seen,

Since the time of your childhood?

You would say that there is only one,

The single most powerful Sun.


A Sun was shining brightly above,

When you were a child playing below.

A Sun was shining over your new love,

As you released the marriage dove.


There was the Sun of your Childhood,

The Sun that shone over your teenage years.

A Sun that radiated its power at your first job.

A Sun that shone over happiness and tears.


It was all just one Sun over the years.

But each time you saw it you were different.

Over the several years that have come and gone.

It is the same Sun under which you were born.


There is a man who has shot the Sun,

90, 000 times with his special camera.

Andrew McCarthy loves to take pictures of the Sun,

He has a remarkable talent that praises the Sun.


Is Your Day Divided into the Chapters of a Book?


Writing a chapter a day does pay

Researchers at Columbia University, who were studying the brain and how it works, discovered that your brain divides time. The brain uses key events in a day, to divide your day, just like the chapters of a book.

Is that not just fascinating and what would it mean for us as writers? Our brains are capable of splitting time into sections, filled with specific incidences, places and events. It would be fascinating if we tried to write our day into the chapters of a book and see how it unfolds.

Therefore, writing and creating chapters from the time we awake from sleep to the time we lay down our heads to rest at night, could be broken into chapters of a book. This would be the probable format of a book of a day lived by any person, no matter where they were in life and whatever work they did. It would begin with getting up from sleep, ablutions, breakfast, the first three chapters or they could be two chapters. The next fourth chapter would be about getting ready for work and stepping out.

The fifth chapter could be about getting public transport, walking or driving to work. The sixth chapter in the book of a day would be arriving at work, sitting at your desk at attending to whatever work that needed to be done. The seventh chapter would be about lunch and interacting with friends and colleagues. The eighth chapter of your book in a day would be the after and early evening at work. The ninth chapter would be about travelling back home. The tenth would be having dinner, and relaxing with family or friends. The eleventh chapter could be getting into bed. There you now have the eleven chapters of your “Book of a Day”, as created by your brain.

Perhaps, using the same principle, you can create the next chapters of your book, with a beginning where the hero prepares for the journey, the Hero sets off on his or her quest, after being given a mission. The Hero faces challenges at work and overcomes them. After a resolution is achieved, the Hero returns home, exhausted after a busy day at work and goes to bed, having completed his mission, saved the day and transformed himself into a better person. This is very similar to the person who goes out every day to work and returns, having been transformed by his or her life experiences. What do you think about this pattern of the brain dividing the day into chapters and about your life as a writer, writing a novel or a story?


Why Do You Wear Your Rings?


Will you?

I wear the ring on my finger as a symbol of my love for my wife. Why do you wear your rings, if you have more than one ring on your fingers and they are not your wedding band? We wear our rings for a lot of reasons, the main ones being that the ring symbolizes love and authority.

There are rings worn by people who belong to particular groups. There are signet rings worn by others with their names in letters of gold or as engravings. There are rings worn as ornaments by models and fashionistas.

Rings have been worn by people for centuries. Recently, an 1,800-year-old Roman ring was discovered by archaeologists in France, when they uncovered several coins, an ancient road and a small town. The image of Venus Victorious is engraved on the ring. Who could have worn the ring and why did the wearer discard the ring? Could it be that the nobleman or woman, who was of a high rank and possibly a warrior, was giving up his or her old life and was ready to live the simple life of a peasant?

Almost every folklore or fantasy story contains one or several stories about a ring. The ring is a wonderful tool that can be the starting point for any writer to create a wonderful tale. There could be stories about one ring, that opens portals in time, while another ring, could make the wearer invisible, and yet another ring could make the character’s wishes come true.

Then there is one ring, that could rule them all. Emperors, Kings, Wizards and Queens all wore their rings with pride. A father usually passed his ring to his first-born heir. The way a ring was obtained is a fascinating story, as is the idea of the passing of a ring, either by birth or by an act of valour. As a writer, what story would you create based on the discovery of a ring by the Hero of your story?
