Is this a fragment?
I am writing a personal narrative for L.A. and I need to know if this sentence is a fragment: This was it! The moment I had been waiting for, but not necessarily looking foward to, all day. Or should it be: This was it, the moment I had been waiting for, but not necessarily looking foward to, all day! Please help. I have to turn it in tomorrow and I can’t decide if that sentence is grammatically correct!

The second way is correct. This was it, the moment I had been waiting for, but not necessarily looking forward to, all day! Just a style issue, I’d put the ‘but not…’ in parentheses. And yes, it is indeed a sentence fragment (the second part) the way you had it the first time 🙂

This was it! The moment I had been waiting for, but not necessarily looking foward to, all day.
That is the correct grammarization of the sentence.

I would write the sentence as:
“This was it! The moment I had been waiting for (but not necessarily looking forward to) all day.”

“This was it” is not a fragment. This = subject; was = verb; it = object. It is a sentence.
