Hey this isn’t a word count update but just something funny I wanted to add:
Some of the chapters to this end in questions, and I would like everyone to know that when I end a story / chapter with a question, it is not just the character that’s confused: I am too because I have no idea how I’m going to answer it

I know I said I wanted to publish this to YWS someday, but now that I think ab it I’m a little nervous at the idea. I mean, I want to publish it, but idk its just that there’s several of y’all taking interest in the story and I just feel anxious about it.
You know, maybe I just need to go to sleep. Will update in the morning to see if that was the issue.

Okay I have no idea how much I wrote today since I was just re-vamping chapter 9 and 10 since there was this really big problem bothering me
Total words: 14,016
I know I’m probably not supposed to keep going back and editing old chapters but I just cant help myself when I get a new idea and realize my old idea was kinda stupid

So this story is gonna have a bunch of characters who aren’t from Earth, but Keith is from Earth, so that begs the question: what would a person from Earth be called?
For now I’m using the term “Earthian” but I’m not sure if that’s the term I want to use in the final draft, so let me know if yall have any ideas

So, the setting for most of my stories is just the regular world but with some fantasy/supernatural element to it (often unbeknownst to the general public), and Not My Circus is no exception. But now that I’m editing this, I’m noticing a lot of proper nouns (like apps or celebrities) that exist in the real world.
Most of the time I make fake ones or just don’t mention a name at all, just to make the stories feel different from our own world (and because I don’t want it to feel dated). Now I gotta go back and fix all that T-T
Its alright tho, its fun coming up with fake names
