Friction is important for a gymnast in two ways. A gymnast's hold on the bars in not possible without sufficient friction between the hands and the bars. At the same time it is desired to decrease friction on the skin to keep hands from developing painful blisters and rips. Grips are used as a solution. Grip provides sufficient friction between its surface and the bar and reduces effect of friction on the hands. (MZJ)

What is parallel plot?

Parallel plot means that the author has two plot lines going at the same time. For example, in one of my stories, one plot has the characters working on a mystery for the government. A second plot that happens at the same time, parallel to the first, has them working at their security firm. Using parallel plots makes the story more interesting because there is more action.
