I can advice you this if you dont have much time. From the start of my story i knew how it was going to end and all the main events that i need to unfold the story. So whenever i get time i was used to write the events about which i was sure, call them the main points of the story. And to reach these main points i wrote other events that come on their own and the story gets completed. Well writing the main points helps in two ways
First you can see the whole story and see if the events works
Second you can adjust the secondary scenes better and connect them in a better way with the main ones

And the plus point is that gain time, i mean having backups helps when you have really a busy life.


@Rish thanks. You know i will not mind :)
But then why many people write like in the second option, putting a comma before and? 😡
I really can't tolerate it.
Technically in Italian we can't even start a sentence with And, but i see in English writers do it.
It is correct?

Dellz okay if you are taking the story foward from a point of the show put a disclaimer saying this story starts from here onwards. In this way if any chacracter of your story recalls a particular moment it can be also the same as per in the show. Because they are recallying their past and having you stated that the past till a point was like the show, you can add their pasts in the story like iy was in the show without making much changes.

apparently this is correct

A comma should also be placed before and if and is at the beginning of an independent clause.

The purpose of a comma is to clarify list, and it also conjoins ideas.

The dog is young, and it's also well-trained.

It's cold outside, and I can't find my coat.

He was dreading the moment he witnessed now, and this was one of the deepest secrets he was burying in these years.

^^ i think i got the point.
If i use the dog is young and well trained
Then there should be no comma
But if it is the dog is young, and it is also well trained
We can put the comma because there is another verb after it.

@ Rish dont worry baby, the thing is that i dont know much about English grammar and Italian Grammar is very strict and complicated. My friend says English is a stupid language based on exceptions and she is British, so I dont know what is right and what is wrong.

She always carrect my mistakes and helps me in knowing which is the difference between the use of the same word in two different sentence. Once she corrected me with the use of Into and In to. Because I was using into too much and she explaind me the difference and i stoped using it in to the wrong situations.

^ this sentence when I say it out loud is hard to read.

He was dreading the moment he witnessed now, and it scared him like hell.

^ this one would work.

He was dreading the moment he witnessed now. - one independent clause

It scared him like hell. - second independent clause but where and could come at the start of based on what I posted.

I don't think any language is stupid per se. English is my predominant language but I will agree that it has a lot of rules and exceptions that one just can not remember. But it evolved differently with lots of additions from other languages. Italian has a latin base right so it is more rigid in the way the grammar works. The way I do it is to think of two independent clauses and then you can add 'and' t to the second and then put a comma in if it helps anyone.

It is correct in both the ways. It gives a different impact. With and its like the thing ends there. Without and for me it gives more impact, it creates suspance. So at the end i think it all depends on what you want to convey to the reader. How you want him to read it. I use punctuation a lot. In my language you cant write without using comma, semicolon and dot.

So even in English i tend to do the same, obviously not knowing if it is correct or not.
