I think that it is very funny resume video!
Don't know if I should be commenting this sad post since it's been a while. I don't wanna bring back bad memories and I don't have exactly good news to offer, but I have on certainty: from the moment I got to know your work you, Hilarie Burton, have only surprised me in the most positive way. SoGoPro is definitely worthy of being put in first place and if the artist couldn't see that, or couldn't give you that fully, then you truly need to find someone who will. And since you guys deserve it completely, I wish you nothing but good luck!
Keep your head up. It'll work watch. And the good news is you cant reach success without a few failures and bumps in the roads. So im sure things will all fall in place. good luck
sff hilarie i love you :)
hmm...it sucks in deed but still...you have a great team...and a lot of support from us, so you just have to smile and keep doing your thing 'cos you're great at it. things will come around, don't worry!!
Ye im agreed im sure It wil be fine! dont give up we support you:)
duuude that totally sucks especially after you have already put so much into it. Glad to see you're soldiering on with a good attitude (although you'd have been perfectly justified to upload a vlog that was just a string of four letter words...) we've all been there with the just total frustration when things dont work out and no matter how you try you just can't make them. But at least now maybe you'll find the right person and it will just click and be right. It'll all be worth it in the end...
umm good news... well... oh just saw florence + the machine live for the first time in one of those absolute perfect music moments when the night was pitch black and her hair lit up like flame and it was transcendent and amaaazing.. music memories make me feel better when the universe is having an anti-zoei day not sure what helps you...
anyway chin up, remember you're amazing and we all support sogopro 100% xx
do people ever think you're weird? sure in a charming, endearing, lovable. . . yeah.

I WAS SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.. BUT EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.. YOU WILL PROBABLY LOOK BACK AT THIS IN A YEAR OR TWO AND BE THANKFUL IT HAPPENED THE WAY IT DID. ALSO ALWAYS STICK TO YOUR GUNS AND FOLLOW YOUR GUT AND YOU WILL NEVER GO WRONG.. IT SUCKS FOR NOW BUT WITH THE POSTIVE ATTITUDE YOU HAVE IT WILL ALL WORK OUT IN THE END AND THE PROJECT WILL MEAN EVEN MORE WHEN YOU FINISH IT.. BECAUSE YOU STUCK TO YOUR GUNS AND WHAT YOU BELIEVED IN... TAKE CARE ANS KEEP YOUR CHIN UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TLK
super-bummed to hear about how things turned out. but i guess it was better to part ways than having something you don't like in the end. i'm sure starting afresh will be even more epic in the end though, crossing my fingers that things will work out soon for you. hang in there!!
Awww....the graphic novel is the project that I look forward to the most (aside from Pedestrian)....but I'm sure SOGOPRO can work it out and all this anguish and waiting will be worth it. I love how you are still laughing when your mad, Hilarie. Hmm...good news...it hasn't happen yet but I will still tell you anyway: SOGOPRO bounced back from the setback and made a kick-ass graphic novel!
Lynn
I'm sorry that it didn't work out. You guys just keep pushing on and pushing forward. Like you said, sucesses and failures. Thanks for the update. I'm sure a new better fit of an artist will come through. Be blessed.
<3 Brandal
I am very disappointed that it did not work as you would have wanted, but it's like that there are good and bad times to cross a proffessional career and even in yours, and I know that j 'm sure it will work, because when we love what we do and your job is much more than love is above all a passion, it will work. Milles thank you to share with us all that

The word "suck" is too feeble and impotent to describe the general crappiness of this. I'm finally de-lurking and decided to register. I guess I picked a wonderful time and vlog to do so! The pride, love, and effort that has gone into the novel has been so evident so it's a real kick in the teeth to have this setback.
If I'm feeling really horrible or feel like I've been to hell and back there's not much to do except to work through it. But sometimes I can briefly escape from it all with a few laughs. Myself and a few friends were joking last night about the worst/campiest movie titles in history. One of them came up with: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1161646/ I think that may make some people grimace more than laugh but sorry that's all I got! Anyway I'm confident you'll put all this ugly business in the rear view mirror. I bet when the graphic novel is complete it will be even better for it. Often things have a habit of working out that way.
LOL, oh that just made my day!! Thanks for sharing!
Great to see you came out of 'lurk mode'.
Bahaha...oh god! I'm sorry but is that film for real. :S I feel embarrassed to say that I am even intrigued!
Oh I did laugh, oh how I laughed!
I don't know what to say excluding that, like Robin said, we are here, we aren't going anywhere.
And yes, we are supporting you unconditionally. We are here to share the happiness of achievement but also disappointments when a project does not work out.
So, let the fate do it.
A lot of love and support from France,

well u ask for good news...
im gonna get married!
Wow!!! Congratulations!!! :D
Lau.
I'm sorry about you are feeling sad or angry right now... but I think if with this fisrt artist dosen't work is because he wasn't the right one... Everything happens for one reason and in this case is the same... You should looking for a new one, a bit more Hilarie, and you have to spend your time and maybe its tired and sometimes hard, but don't give up!!!
He/She will arrive I'm completely sure, and will be better than the first! And the good news is that you have SoGoPro and maybe who knows you'll find an artis over the world!!! Why not??? ;D
xoxox
Lau.
Oh Hilarie...Don't be sad, or angry...obviously it wasn't meant to happen with menton...and that's ok...I mean we're used to waiting around here...We aren't going anywhere. I would not call this a failure. Failure is when you create something that sucks or is not accepted. Since the actual product hasn't been created yet persay...no failure. :)
Good news- happy news to share! Sure I have some! I went to a wedding this past weekend, of a friend from high school. She was gorgegoes, the wedding was SO MUCH FUN. It isn't often I get to dress up, and dance with these friends of mine. It was really just lovely. More good news...my best friend will be having her first baby in about a month now!!!! I can't wait!!! We don't know what it's going to be yet so - that just adds to the anticipation! Oh and well Spring is almost here...so that is another thing to be happy about! :)
I hope we have helped cheer you up. :)
I am so sorry to hear about the problems with the artist. You have every right to be upset (and to cuss!) SoGoPro should definitely be first and foremost for anyone working with you. Thinking of you. I know the right artist will come along. Hang in there!

I don't often get the chance to get in here to write a reply but I feel the need to today.
I am really sorry to hear that this hasn't worked out for you guys. It is an extremely frustrating feeling to work so hard on pulling something together only to have it not work out.
However I am a strong believer that things happen for a reason & that people come and go in our lives at certain times for a reason. It is very unfortante that it didn't work out with Menton but at least now you have a clearer idea of what you want/need when looking for someone else in the future. Definitely learn from the experience and use the lessons learnt to your advantage in the future.
Wish you guys all the very best & hope you have some good news soon :-)

Hi Hilarie!
I'm really sorry that things didn't work out. I admire you, I really really do. You are the role model for me! I'm sure all your fans will always support and love you! Remember that we're here for you. It's amazing that you want to tell as about your ups and downs, it makes me feel like someone important to you. Hilarie you are wonderful person and you deserve to have the best things in the world, just believe in it! Follow your dreams, they just might come true...
Good news? I'm so happy that I could see you and hear your wonderful voice! Although it was so sad today it really means the world to me to hear you! Believe or not but your voice makes me feel better and I'm looking forward to hear it again! I want you to know that I'm so proud of you!

Take care and be strong!

Dear Hilarie,
Let me just start by saying that the word "suck" does not cover the way I am feeling right now, so if you want to cuss, then by all means please cuss, because maybe then you'll feel relieved!
You said that we get to see your 'failures' but I really do not see this as a failure. You did everything you could to make this collaboration work, but it just did not work. That does not mean that you failed, it just means that it was not meant to be. I do not think that you should be upset at yourself you did everything you could and I do not think that, that can be seen as a failure. A real failure would be if you were to quit, and that is something you are not going to do, right?!
This might not be something you want to hear now, but you have to look at this screwed up situation as an opportunity to learn. You now know what to expect, you know what could go wrong with a collaboration, and so now you know what you should or should not do with the next artist. I think you should just take a deep breath, and take your time with finding a new artist for the graphic novel for the next two reasons:
One: The right writer will come along at the right time. So panel your graphic novel (whatever that means) and when you are done with that go look for a new artist, do one thing at a time.
Two: And we are a very patient fan base, we would rather wait a few more months and get a fantastic product than a rushed 'unfinished' product. So take your time, think everything over and believe that with hard word and a lot of patience you will get there!
There is one upside to this whole mess, it is a tiny one but it is there. You do not have to start from square one. You can skip a few steps. You already know what you want in the graphic novel, so that is a whole process you can just skip now. Moreover, because you already had some contracts drawn up for Menton you now sort of have a draft for your new artist, which could mean that the whole process of contracts and lawyers could be a lot shorter.
I really hope everything will turn out okay for you, and I hope this message was not too long and boring for you to read :P
xx Alyssa
(btw you said in your vlog that you were mad I do not really like to use that word because the word insinuates that you are crazy which you are really really not because you are the person that gave us SoGoPro so in my humble opinion that makes you pretty damn awesome and not crazy/mad :P)
Aww dang, I was really looking forward to the release of the graphic novel. I'm sorry that things didn't work out with Menton as planned.
I've always been one to move along at what some would regard as a slow pace, but in my mind it's the only way to know things are done correctly and to a standard I'm happy with. I think I'm a bit of a perfectionist (which isn't always a good attribute to possess in my case). I would rather get things done properly, through consistent hard effort, then rush things and feel upon completion as though I could have done things better (though nothing can be completely perfect) - kind of like the moral from one of Aesop's fables, The tortoise and the hare: "slow but steady wins the race" (an expression that always makes me feel better whenever things aren't moving as fast and/or smoothly as I would like them to). Anyway moving on.........
Thank you for sharing your ups and downs with us- it makes me, as a supporter of your company, feel included in some tiny, little, minuscule way. Oh and I really hope everything works out for you guys on the graphic novel front (I believe it will be my very first graphic novel when it comes out :)).
It's been said but I'm gonna say it again, that f*ckin sucks dude (never be afraid to cuss!) keeping my fingers crossed for you guys. Just know that we're all gunning for you & can't wait to have ourselves a copy of your amazing graphic novel (when it is good and ready to be delivered).
Good news - I bought a copy of Dandelion Wine and am loving it, it's so beautifully written - cheers for the recommendation!! Also, I know you've said you don't really want to talk about it & you ARE definitely moving on to bigger and better things but OTH just isn't quite the same without you Hilarie.. it's like a watered down version without Peyton & Lucas.
Anyhow, chin up, I'm sure an AWESOME graphic artist is coming your way!
Elena T
All I can do, is the best I can do, in the time that I have.
That does suck especially after all the hard work and love y'all put into this project but look at this as a detour off the main path that will lead to an amazing product which we will treasure that much more because we know what y'all went through just to get it into our hands. Keep the Faith.
Val
to start, you say we get to see your failures as well, well im still searching for this failure you're talking about, because this isn't a failure, its a glitch, a bump, a minor negative detail... :P Im really glad you're taking charge, and as you say you really believe in fate, well this last artist wasn't meant to be, but you will find the right artist, and everyone will love the final product. Don't stop believing. And im not sure if you're allowed to swear...but i know i wouldn't be offended if you did, so if it makes you feel better-i know it makes me feel better- please feel free :)
some good news... personally, i have a boyfriend as of wednesday, and i have never been more happy, so there ya have it. Find that one thing that makes you smile, or surround yourself with smiley people, because smiles are contagous :P
-Loren
I am so sorry to hear that things didn't work out! I have been there many times, and it does really, completely SUCK! But you guys will get through it, you are strong, confident, and inspirational people that take life as it comes. As you said, believe in fate, when the right artist comes, you will know it, he or she will just fit perfect, like a hand into a glove (or however that saying goes, if it is one ha ha).
So you wanted to hear some good news? Well the status of my SoGoPro signed t-shirt says that it is completed! Which is so exciting! So i'm patiently awaiting for it to come in the mail :). I also just got a new baby budgie yesterday! It was under sad circumstances however, my eldest one passed away, she was 15 and she was so very special to me, I have had her since i was 5, i miss her dearly! My new one is so adorable though, she is completely white with a black spot on her neck and a blue spot on her back, her name is Opal, like the gem stone :) She is gorgeous! And full of personality, she fits perfectly with my other baby bird who is named Max.
I hope you cheer up! Things will definitely work out, just think positive! You are an inspiration to everyone here who has joined SoGoPro! Keep your head held high and a smile on your face :) Things will work out!
Hope to hear from you again soon with Great News!
Alyssa Anne
I am so sorry to hear that things didn't work out for you guys, but I hope that something good will come from this and that you'll be able to find an artist that will be able to do exactly what you need them to do including putting Southern Gothic first. It is sad to hear that you have put in so much effort and that it didn't work out, but I truely do believe you guys will bounce back and end up coming out with something even more amazing. It's always great to hear what you're all up to so I'll just tell you I'm looking forward to the good that I know will come to you soon!
Queren
I'm sorry things didn't work out and that you have been upset. But you're a tough cookie Hil! I love that you guys are so modest as to share your failures. I'm sure this is just a minor set back. I have faith that you guys will find something better. Love ya!!!
hey sorry about that. It really sounds sucky you will find others trust, Good Luck!
Watching you guys work and create is astonishing. The triumphs, successes, joys, and losses you share with us are real and raw. Hearing this just makes me feel incredibly for you guys - hell I'm angry, annoyed and mad with you.
I understand the pain, the anger, the idea that something you have been working so hard for, hasn't panned out as planned. One little fact of life is that with all your successes there are also failures.
But what makes you unlike the majority, is the knowledge that no matter what happens you come back bigger and better. There is no giving in.
It's difficult to accept and be ok with the developments in the present, but you guys are so great at what you do. You've already worked through making necessary changes to make it work. Maybe not as you anticipated, nor wanted. But just think. When you finally do finish, it will have all been worth it. Holding it in your hands, your accomplishments will be right there, and the struggle to get there won't matter so much.
The words from a book you treasure so much:
"Tom, answer me true, now"
"Answer what true?"
"What ever happened to happy endings?"
"They got them on shows at Saturday matinees."
"Sure, but what about life?"
"All I know is I feel good going to bed at nights, Doug. That's a happy ending once a day. Next morning I'm up and maybe things go bad. But all I got to do is remember that I'm going to bed that night and just lying there a while makes everything okay."
You and Kelly will rock it.
Have at it, and indulge in some good quality chocolate (always gives me that little push).
-Alina
Be a DO-er!
That does suck. You deserve to rant and rave. Let it all out. The company does deserve to come first! You'll probably be better off doing it your own way until you find another artist anyways. I'm sure it will come out great.
Here's to finding a better and more committed artist!
-Melissa
wow...i suppose there isn't really anything to say other than yeah, that really does fucking suck. i'm really sorry to hear it didn't work out; after all the blogs and podcasts and everything it all seemed like everything was matched up perfectly. life just likes to kick you sometimes though i guess. but i'm sure you guys will find someone else, probably someone even better for the job.
good news on my part (that is slightly relevant to sogopro...kind of haha): in my literature class at school we just finished studying alice munro, and when we'd first begun to study it my teacher was pleased that i was able to identify the southern gothic features of her writing, which i con wholly account for by what i've learned about the genre from here (i'm from australia and hadn't read a lot of southern gothic books or anything so the genre was quite new to me before i started coming to this site/reading the stuff from your book clubs). recognising it actually made me enjoy the book itself a lot more too, i think!
also just as a small note that made me smile yesterday...now when i watch my one tree hill dvds and kelly's name comes up in the credits i have a bit of a HUZZAH moment because i know who he is haha :)
keep trucking on guys, something will come along eventually!
Oh, it really suck, but I'm sure things will work out! Just don't lose your faith, we believe in Sogopro, and we know this graphic novel is going to be great!

~Soulmates never die!~
Well I do have a great news, I'm french, I'm in my first year of college and I study English, and my english commercial language teacher asked us a few weeks ago to give a talk about an american or english firm and I choose Sogopro.
And I was so , you know, involved in this... I mean I was really enthusiastic about it, I was happy to talk about the company, to explain how it works, how much it's really a community , a family between the fan and you 3... I talk about it as if I was talking about my favourite artist, or favourite music... And I just realized how attached I am about the company, the community, this kind of family relationship we have with you.
I mean we just feel that we are a part of this project , it's just beautiful, and great and fabulous, and more (sorry lack of vocabulary)... So I talked about sogopro and last week she gave it back to us... The most I could have with her was B and thanks to my talk I had a A... I mean It's not a big big deal after all and maybe a little bit childish but the point is Sogopro is a wonderful concept, with a great vibe, and ya the graphic novel project failed, but I mean we still very very proud to be a part of this project, the love I have (and we all have) for you and the company is huge, and the fact that all of a sudden, just talking about Sogopro had a so great effect on my work is not innocent..
So just don't give up, I know you won't, but keep faith in all this as we all keep faith in it, we all stand righ beside you guys! We love you
(sorry for my english lol)
I am a true believer that things happen for a reason. If you look back, there may have been something that was always not right with him. You can be mad/sad for a while but then just put the hurt and resentment behind you and move on. You guys will persevere over this bump in the road. Don't let the resentment fester because it will just weigh you down.
And yes, sunny days are finally here so that we can all be happy about! Best of luck guys. Keep us posted - we are all behind you.
Nicole - Boston, MA
That does SUCK! Sorry that it didn't work out as you guys planned... And I admire your strenght and faith. It's really inspiring! I belive in you guys! Just keep up the good work, stay positive and I'm sure that you guys will work this out! But I guess that you are going to have some setbacks once in a while to really appriciate it when it is going as planned.
Take care! I can't wait for the next vlog, blog or podcast! I just Love Y'all, and all the updates and all your projects! I will Always gonna be a fan of your work and I will always support it!<3
Lina:)
Some things just don't work out, and there's really not much more to say than that.
But you can't make an omlette without breaking eggs :).
I completely understand you, Hilarie. I'm having sort of a same situation, only on reverse. I have a project in which I really believe in, it's good and I'm 100% sure it would work. I went to a company to help me financing it and they seemed interested (after months of reassurings that it'd sell). They offered me some of the profit as well. Then probably something happened and they started backing off, saying it's too risky to involve me because it might not sell. I know for sure that they think it'd work, probably they realized the project is so good that they don't want to give me so much money?
I know how you feel, the only difference is that I'm frustrated because I might have served them the whole world on a silver platter and nobody will ever know that was mine. Do you have an advice for this situation?
Lots of hugs!!
Sounds like you should go and get some legal advice. Don't underestimate the power of one vaguely threatening letter from a lawyer!
Also, as an aside, i have to admit i am slightly creeped out by your avatar! :P
Don't know... there's not much I can prove to show it's mine. However, I own some confidential info I might threaten to spread around if things went ugly... :P
What's wrong with my avatar? It's part of my collective's design, I'm very proud of it :)
That really does SUCK. Sometimes things just don't work out and if they don't they just weren't meant to be. I'm sure you will find the perfect person and your project will come out perfect in the end. Stay positive!
*Meg*
What can I say that nobody else has said? It's all been covered! Well, at least I can bring something that you asked, to tell you good news... so... good news... good news... hum... I found a quarter yesterday! And since it hasn't been considered in my monthly budget I'd be more than happy to donate it to sogopro... it's for the cause.
I was going to end with a joke, but since I don't know any in english and translated jokes from spanish, believe me, are not that funny...I leave you Homer and you can remember any simpsons' moment that you wish! :) Be well!
P.S.: If helps, cooking a cake (or something) usually helps me. Don't worry about carbs and stuff... by the time you finish, you won't eat a piece. And it's a great excuse for having friends over. That's the part that really helps actually.

(It's not great, I advise squinting :P )
uhm, you're right, it sucks. it's always so hard to find a person who really wants to do a good job and who doesn't let you down. but im sure you'll find that person. i think anyone should be proud and honored to work with you, guys.
my good news is that...uhm...im moving to Los Angels from Italy in 10 days and i'll start a degree in music business at ucla. im so excited i can't wait, that's what i've always wanted to do in my life.
thanks for sharing your news as usual. they might not be good news but it's nice that you want to make us part of your work, good parts and bad parts. hope you'll find your artist soon, so all the wait and the disappointment will be worth it. good luck.

Dear Hilarie,
Some things are just not ment to be! I think that 'the' artist for the graphic novel is about to come around and you will be all pleasently suprised. Feeling angry and disappointed right now is understadable and also unnecessary! Don't waste time and energy on that, it's simply not worth it. I know you've put up a lot of effort and passion to this project, so it's hard to start all over again, but remember that our fan community will wait as long as it takes to see the final product, because we believe it will be amazing and worth waiting for, so the resigned artist bites his hand off out of jelaousy!
xoxo,
