I am writing a fantasy novel, and I am trying to avoid using the word "and" as much as I do.
So, I would normally write a sentence like this:
John stalked the deer and he tracked it through the woods.
But would prefer to change some of my sentences to this:
John stalked the deer, tracking it through the woods.
Is this a comma splice? or bad grammar?
