Ceremony

Read 2 Chronicles 4-6

2 Chronicles 5:13 "It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord;"

If we can get ahead of an upcoming ceremony, we have a built-in market. Pieces on weddings, graduations, funerals, and bar mitzvahs may find a home in local newspapers.

Articles on dedications, anniversaries, and historical events might be pitched to regional magazines. They might even be pitched to commercial magazines if the ceremonies are important enough.

For our fiction, a story’s plot could include a family or community getting ready for a big ceremony. The ceremony could even be the reason for the plot, complete with a ticking clock as the characters scramble to get everything ready on time and deal with disasters that might keep the ceremony from taking place at all.
