Looking back it's rather amazing how far you get when you actually commit to putting things up. I got bogged down in edit checking and r/l work - and the chapter edits still haven't gone up as much talk/with action has to be done - but the next chapter [13] is finally up!
It's still hard to tell how many chapters are left in the first volume. As mentioned before, there is a lot of juggling when other mediums are to be involved in the process. Needless to say it feels good to finally get to this action packed chapter.
Now for the even more action packed chapter to come.

Not dead just working.
Summer jobs take up a lot of time which left little for this project. The experiment with time management aside, there was a lot of time spent on the Ernest Demon project, it just doesn't come up on the surface.
1) A logo is being worked on. Hopefully it'll be done this week or next.
2) The current chapters have been searched through to look for consistency errors, unintended oddities/errors, and some holes. Thankfully there weren't too many holes as the questions unanswered will be answered, it just takes a while to get to them.
3) There were a lot of sentences even with the style we're going for, which just don't work out. So they were discussed for later revision.
4) The draft for the next chapter has been painfully slow... Although the team's been looking forward to this part, a lot of questions were developed with the introduction of another character. Since the speech formats were mutated during development as the story progressed, this left a bit of an identity issue (who is talking at what time). A viewer might start getting the sensation that there are talking heads versus people talking and moving which we're trying to avoid. It's a fine line when taking this narrative style.
5) We've had to spend a lot of time talking about other important elements of publishing/company/business decisions. Most of us had gotten summer jobs to help get some money and the result was a complete breakdown of time-tables, making it nearly impossible to either meet or have the motivation to do anything. Despite that, we've been able to get a lot of important decisions made and acquire some additional equipment/software.
Progress has been made and progress continues to occur.
There is a clearer vision as to what will be done about this publishing project's first end goal. Hopefully we'll have character illustrations after the logo is developed.
With all of that overhead out of the way, I'll get the next chapter done and then there should be a few more before the entirety gets edited up and we begin the next stage of development.
