Only other authors know how funny this is!

Oh, Karen. I feel your pain. It's so easy to miss things like that. But you caught it. Kudos to you.

Thanks, Denise!

Hi Ellen! I'm glad it's given you some new editing tools.

Your lists are very thorough and have given me another way to approach editing.

Thanks!
Terrific suggestions.

I do it last now as well, Jenny. But I write a much stronger outline and first draft thanks to doing this some years back.

Still, if I did it first, I'd never write the stories, so it's better that I do it at the end.

I love your scene card!

You are welcome, Matthew. If the foreshadowing creates tension in the reader, the opposition is implied, but it exists. The main thing to do is to keep those foreshadowing-only scenes (and travel scenes) to only the times when they are of the "if I remove this scene, the reader won't understand what comes next" variety. And yes, it is a lot of work the first time around. As you do this you write stronger first drafts so the revisions aren't as painful. Best of luck on your writing journey!
