Anxiety…My New Best Friend

by James 05.27.2010

5,172,525 times. That’s the number of edits I’ve made to SELLOUT.
All right, I’m exaggerating, but since early March, I’ve stared at the manuscript so many times, excerpts of the book are probably branded into the whites of my eyeballs. Rewrite after rewrite after f*ckin’ rewrite. Up all hours of the day AND night, trying to [...]

Two Many Damn Hats!

by James 05.09.2010

I usually sport a skin-fade, but even if rocked dreadlocks, I still wouldn’t have much hair because I would’ve yanked out half those bad boys by now, just like the weeds in my backyard. I mean, damn, what the hell did we get ourselves into with this whole publisher-slash-small business-slash-author thing? And all at the [...]

A Little About Social Networking

by James 05.03.2010

Be honest: You spend as many hours on the Internet as you do at work. Social networks like Facebook and Twitter take out a big chunk of time you could use on that report your supervisor needs. You don’t just “post” a comment, you ‘tweet” it. When you claim to have 1625 friends, you’re actually [...]

Revision Hell

by James 04.08.2010

Any writer will tell you writing is about rewriting. You never get it right the first time. That applies to pretty much everything we do. You think George Lucas wrapped up Star Wars after only one take for each scene? Hell naw. Action. Cut. Action. Cut. Scene after scene, take after take, over and over [...]

First Steps

by TPC 03.31.2010

Yup, the text. Who would’ve thought a simple text message would turn into a train still barreling down a long track with not one, not two, but THREE mofos driving it? I know I didn’t. You may or may not know this, but initially, I was like, “hell no. I’m not going into business with [...]

TPC is an LLC! Oh, Sh**!

by James 03.26.2010

Oh, sh**! It’s official: TPC is an LLC. That’s what we be.
If I had any leftover doubt regarding how far Omar, Steph and I had gotten in this business venture, the thick burgundy notebook from the post office with “The Pantheon Collective (TPC) LLC” on the spine squashed it all. The Pantheon Collective is real [...]

Getting down to BUSINESS

by Omar 02.19.2010

I left the First Power Summit with my marching orders firmly in hand. I needed to lay the foundation for our company – the business plan. There is a Portuguese expression that best expresses my feeling in this moment, “frio na barriga” which literally translates “cold in the belly”.
Well, my guts had [...]

Polishing the Product

by Stephanie 02.17.2010

At our first power summit, after we settled on the name Pantheon, we came up with this analogy of the three pillars, each holding up a side of the company. Each pillar is strong on its own, but without one, the whole structure crumbles. One of the first things we needed to do [...]

The Element of Fate

by Omar 02.15.2010

I once blogged about the Illusion of Choice; exploring the idea of why we do what we do and how we end up where we end up. We don’t choose our families, where and under what conditions we grow up. But our upbringing has a significant impact on how we live our lives. [...]
