Comma splice

Commas are used in so many different ways throughout writing, I've found that I need all the tips I can pick up with them. So the rule states, "A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses (clauses that could be sentences on their own) are jammed together with a comma". So how can you fix the sentence? You must do one of two things: either separate the clauses completely into two sentences or join the sides together with an appropriate connector, you can use a semicolon or a word as a connector.
