Punctuation??
This is for my prose portfolio, so if you don't know what you're talking about please don't reply!!!
I need a little help with this sentence: "Just two months into our relationship the flush stopped working, rendering it useless for three days until maintenance decided it was about time to fix it."
Don't worry, you don't need to know the context of this bizarre construct! I just need to know where the hell the comma goes.
Is it, "Just two months into our relationship the flush stopped working, rendering it useless for three days etc..."
or, "Just two months into our relationship, the flush stopped working rendering it useless for three days etc..."
When my creative writing tutor looked over my work, she basically said everything was good and to keep going, but to make sure I didn't slip in the technical stuff such as punctuation...so I'm a little paranoid about the punctuation!
Thanks in advance for the theoretical help! xxx

P.S. Three songs I'm totally obsessed with right now: Such Great Heights by Iron and Wine, Gotta Be Somebody by Nickelback and Break by Three Days Grace (well, that entire album, really) - anyone else see the awesomesauceness in these songs?
