Overview of the problem
Perhaps you’ve seen this mistake: “Walking down the street, the stroller lost a wheel.” This sentence implies that the stroller is walking down the street, which would be a very interesting sight, indeed. The problem is that the implied subject of the introductory phrase does not match the grammatical subject of the main sentence, the stroller. The writer knows what he/she means, but the reader may be confused. (Isn’t grammar fun?). Editing this sentence will help the reader understand what you are trying to say, which is the purpose of editing.

The importance of plotting, scene construction, and narration when writing your fantasy novel.
You may have read interviews from many authors who state that they place less effort on the plot outline than the actual writing of their novels. You will also find that many of these same authors regret that they did not learn the art of plotting early in their writing experiences, and do admit to finding dead scenes and stray ends at the completion of their novels. Fantasy writers simply cannot afford to skip the plotting process. Certainly you may revise your plot during the process; in fact you should as you find new directions and interesting inclusions.
