There is not much story :/ Generally a story has to have at least a few dozen posts to be a story. Anything less and it’s a short story or novella.

Paragraphs should have at least three sentences, and a sentence should have at least three words. Dialogue always begins on its own line when another character speaks, but further non-dialogue sentences can commence after a character speaks. If the same character is speaking, further dialogue can be used without beginning on another line.

Sentence
Needs a subject, a predicate and a verb, and then a complete thought. If any of the four are missing, it will be a sentence fragment.
Sentence fragments begin with words like "that," "if," "when," "while," "where," "which," "who," "whose." One exception is a subordinate clause, it's a sentence that begins with a subordinating word such as "if," but is incomplete by itself. Subordinate clauses have to connect to the main clause.
The sentence needs to tell the reader why something is happening. The information is essential for the sentence to have full a meaning. The connection of words should be made clear so that the audience (your reader) can read the story without misinterpreting the happenings.
A comma is not placed before words like "because" or "who". Information before the comma are important for the sentence but everything after the comma is another part.
A clause is a group of words, so a sentence is a clause. Any other "line" of words, such as that of poems and plays, generally are also a clause.

Colon ,
Used before a list that may be preceded by words like "such as" or "the following," so the colon replaces the two examples.
Can be used before a list of words that explain a noun.
Used after the opening of a business letter.
Can be used between two independent clauses if the second clause explains the first.

Semicolon ;
Can be used between independent clauses not joined by "and," "but" or "or." Can replace the "but," "or" or "and" and a comma.

Quotation marks " "
Quotation marks can begin or finalise with "character said."
Not used for your own words or thoughts unless you yourself are a character within the material who is speaking to someone.
The comma or period goes inside the end quotation mark, even when it is not part of the quotation.

Exceptions of any rule is OK in creative writing, however it should not be overused.



Oh god, Jagex ruined the story forum. Anyways, happy typing.
