25.01.2022 Anybody heard of Goodreads? It’s a fun site where you can review the works of published authors of all kinds. Like most crazy/excited authors, we’ll be putting our book on the site for reviews and ratings when it's finally published. This is a scary time for any author because it gives their reader base a chance to tell them what they truly think of their work. Some novice authors have suggested that it's unwise for writers to read the reviews their public gives them. ESPECIA...LLY THE NEGATIVE ONES. But we think, LEAN INTO IT! It’s gonna hurt, sure, but there is much you can learn from your most negative critics that you will most certainly never learn from your most positive supporters. Keeping yourself in a bubble of toxic positivity will never help you grow as an author, so embrace the suck and find out what’s being said by people that don’t like you. It will not only toughen you up for the other challenges that will come along, but you might get the valuable chance to learn from your mistakes. Bottom line; GOODREADS IS YOUR FRIEND, EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT! Max and Jessicat Xxx #shapeshifters #werecats #indieauthor #goodreads #bebetter #neverstoplearning #workhard See more
20.01.2022 2020 was a huge year for us, writing wise. After over 14 years of working on our book together, and writing our story many, many different ways, we have finally settled on the version of the story we plan to share with the world. Our first draft was completed last week, and now as we enjoy the 2nd day in our two week holiday, we begin to read. Then we will rewrite, implementing all changes as they need to be made and send it to our editor for the first round of structural ed...its..... Claws crossed we don't fight too much over the changes we each think should, or should not, be made. Here goes nothing.... Max and Jessicat Xxxx #shapeshifters #werecats #indieauthor See more
18.01.2022 Whilst racing out of the bathroom to get back to work I was greeted with this amusing duo, my two favorite boys Theo is getting on now, we think he is around 18, and Daddy had him all snuggled up in his dressing gown, so he could enjoy some cuddles whilst getting the laundry done. Its moments like this I cherish, just every day moments that make you feel lucky to have the family you do. Even if they don't share in your enthusiasm of immortalizing the moment.

17.01.2022 Max has started to interact with other independent authors in the lead up to launching our own channel. After only 3 days he's been rewarded for his efforts with an Author-Tuber dedicating a new video to Max personally, addressing his comment, and showing a screenshot of it within the video itself. We will share more about this video over the coming weeks, in the meantime please enjoy this adorable pic of Lucy Lawson, hard at work helping Daddy read over our work.

14.01.2022 The energy is electric as the year comes to a close. Even the fur-kiddies seem to be filled with a sense of renewed vigor and energy as we work to complete the draft and get it to our editor for the first round of edits. We have also started serious prep work for the YouTube channel we plan to launch in the new year, and finish work on our website. Stay tuned because we can't wait to share more with you soon.

14.01.2022 We have read our first draft completely and are now jumping into the redrafting process to get it up to scratch in order to submit it with our editor in another two months or so. It's been a joyful process reading together, and really getting to enjoy the work we have worked so hard on, but now it's back to the grindstone!!! We look forward to sharing updates of our progress over the coming months, and hope the start of 2021 has been as wonderful for you as it has been for us.

08.01.2022 BIG NEWS! We will be releasing the first instalment of our book, one chapter at a time on Wattpad in a couple of months Today, as a couple celebrating Valentine's day together we took some time to exercise, stretch and rest a little whilst watching Malcolm In the MIddle (a family favourite) before jumping back into work. Writing a book, and working through the editorial process could be likened to competing in the 'Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race', held in Jamaica, Queens. Runners hit the streets at 6 a.m and circle the block about 100 times a day, finishing at around midnight, averaging 60 miles a day to complete the race in time. We look forward to sharing more updates with you soon. Max and Jessicat Xxx #shapeshifters #werecats #indieauthor
07.01.2022 Its fun going out into the world to research Source material for the book you are writing. A while back we went to the Aviation Heritage Museum in search of two British single-seater fighter aircraft called the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Driving up the museum we got to see an awesome Supermarine Spitfire right outside the entrance, and inside we got to see (and touch) a Supermarine Spitfire Mk. 22 and a replica Hawker Hurricane - 5/8 scale. We felt like kids marveling at these amazing examples of mans need to escape our earthly bounds and take flight into the heavens, encased in technology dreamed into being by sheer will and determination.

07.01.2022 Reading. We do it over, and over, and over again. In the lead up to releasing the first installment of our book series on Wattpad we are reading over Sundays, and late into the evening on weekdays. This can get a little exhausting, but we find having a little motivation on the wall behind us helps to keep the faith and the momentum going.

05.01.2022 More and more Max and I turn to anime for our entertainment and inspiration. Truly anything goes, and the creators don't seem to pull their punches creatively. League of Legends is a video game, and we just can't get enough of this: https://youtu.be/UOxkGD8qRB4 Truly this kind of art/quality production is the inspiration that helps to drive us to write our book.
