Q. I have a zenith hdtv but not a flatpanel and when turned on the screen is still black and you hear a loud crackling noise and when i turned it off it shocked me and the only thing i can think of is that lightning struck it i don't know how to tell or if it can be fixed
A. the honest truth is there is no way to tell if it was hit by lightening unless. your house was struck right where the cable or power comes in. and by struck i mean "oh my god look. the side of the house is burnt in a very peculiar wow looks like lightening hit it manner". that said here are some things you can do. first was there a recent storm. i know that should be obvious but i'm just making sure. if so. great. lightening it is. call your home owners insurance agent. (as long as the set in not warrantied and worth the deductible.) he will have you bring a repair man in to check the damage. most will look at it and agree to call it a lightening strike. ( since it can't be proved or disproved anyway what the agent is really looking for is their opinion.) and believe it or not just like in the movies a tip can help if they don't seem to sure.if you don't have insurance just take it to a repair shop. if it is warrantied. just don't mention lightening.I(they will run from paying for it if they think god may have done it. he hates t.v's) last but not least. just so you know what your describing could be lightening don't get me wrong but it sounds more like a failure in a ground blew your set up. and so you know yes i have been working in t.v. repair for six years. their are no state awarded certifications in my state but i have been to several seminars and am recognized by several major companies as an authorized agent for repair
How do you end a novel (very well)?
Q.
A. Ending your novel is more important than beginning it, despite the reasoning that the opening entices the reader into the work. Both are skills to master. However, fixing a problematic opening in a revision is simple compared with fixing a befuddled ending. Traditionally, endings are viewed as "happy", "sad", "pensive", "surprise", "abrupt" and the rest of the gamut. However, it really doesn't matter "how" your novel ends, it's "where" your novel ends that is critical.
Novel endings can suffer from a number of issues. Here's are six that I'll be referencing:
1. Anti-climax
2. Runaway train
3. Contrived
4. Developmental
5. Dribble out
6. Epilog
Anti-Climax endings are usually recognized by their failure to please, surprise, or even keep the reader's attention. It is generally caused by having a more powerful scene a few chapters from the end, which "peaks" your novel too soon. It's downhill from there. This is corrected by toning down the zenith chapter, although it might break your heart. Usually, the culprit scene and the final scene have similar settings, characters and tone. Change the earlier scene's intensity, setting and character mesh. Intensify the last scene. The last scene must be the most important and memorable scene in the novel or why should the reader even bother to make the journey?
Runaway train endings are recognized when your pacing is too fast. Your ending comes up suddenly, catching the reader off-guard. "Is that it?" It usually stems from a writer's "need to finish." That motivation lends itself to "flat" writing and slipshod parascaping. In my experience (and I mean, my experience), these endings need a complete rewrite. Think about when your "ending" begins. If it starts in the last two chapters, back up and rethink. The earlier your novel's ending begins, the stronger and firmer paced the ending is. Most novel endings begin in the middle of the work and some in the first paragraph of Chapter One. You must be continually building toward the end. You use this to ground the whole work. Gravity wins in the end (and with endings). A runaway train ending usually means extensive revision. You must find that crucial end-start point and rework everything in between - sometimes subtly, but reworked it must be.
Contrived endings are grafted onto the novel, and usually because the author is using a strict outline. The stronger the outline, the more constraint there is for character development. Characters are forced to say and do things that the author wants them to say or do. That's not good novel writing. When the work concludes, the end is usually contrived. Readers will say, "What? He rammed his fist into the airplane propeller because his Uncle Fitzgerald cut him out of the will and he needed to get money from his health insurance to bury his long estranged and tubercular wife?" 'nuff said.
