I tried looking through the website for this issue, and apologize if it has already been addressed. Need some word mechanics advice, thanks. My character is watching a recording, and shuts it off. He changes the input to the television. The TV picks up in mid sentence (and the sentence itself is important). How would it be punctuated? Option 1: "...and in other news, did you hear about this giant bus?" Option 2: "--and in other news, did you hear about this giant bus?" Option 3: "and in other news, did you hear about this giant bus?" Or would the A in 'and' be capitalized? Thanks for the help.
Option 3 with capitalized A It's very clear from the content that the char is hearing it mid-sentence, so no need to do anything more.
option 3 with capital 'a'... it may or may not be a continued sentence, as many newscasters will finish one sentence and then continue reporting, with a new one that begins with 'And'... just as we sometimes write fragments beginning with that word...
