The Bengal in the Zebra Weekender


This work experience hunt is not going great. I've had zero responses and the 14th is creeping forward. Finally called Random House and spoke to someone who explained that it was first come first serve with who hands in their cv but she was sweet enough to say she remembers my name and will look out for me. Yay!!!! I found another work experience opportunity on their page so hopefully I'll get that one.

Got a rejection letter from an agent. They said I have a strong story but it's not for them. Can't they just make it work for them??? When I get my millions, they are gonna wish they made it work!!

I caught my Mum drinking out of my Micky Mouse 'A' Cup I brought from Disneyland in the summer. I had to explain to her that because her name is not an A, she is not allowed to drink from it. She got a bit huffy and tried to claim all the other cups in the house but I ignored her. She knows why I'm funny about my cups. When I went to see Wicked the musical, I brought a cup for a tenner. Black with WICKED written in gold. It lasted months at my house with Naomi but two weeks back at my Mum's. It broke and no one's owned up, so until that day. LEAVE MY CUPS!!!

I haven't introduced you guys to the animal in my life—Fergie (grey Bengal, mad cat). Well he peed blood over my brand new leopard print sheets cause my sister decided to leave him in my room. So as I got home about half 11 in the evening, my feet aching from MYSELF rehearsals, you can imagine how I felt when I saw this and learnt it was Lola's fault. Of course, there was a massive argument, seeing as I had zero sheets and I was worried for Fergs. Lola didn't even offer to pay for a new pillow. Charming.
I managed to get a spot at the vets Monday morning after we woke up to find that Fergie had peed under the table and on the couch downstairs. Tried to lock him in his carrier. He broke it and hissed at me. Wrestled him into my zebra print weekender bag, which he seemed to quite like. He only buried himself into a ball, tipping the bag on my shoulder when cars zoomed by. Once again, at the vets he snarled at the other cats and tried to attack the vet. Better than last time when he tried to play dead and he wouldn't move off the table.
All in all, he is much better. I'm 60 something quid down but my new sheets are freshly washed and gorgeous again.

Look out for MYSELF dance crews EXCLUSIVE promo vid coming soon .....

My meeting with an agent

Those of you who have been following this blog from the beginning will know that I've been trying for years to get an agent. Well I have the best news...I HAVE A LITERARY AGENT!!!!!!!! Omg I was in so much shock when they responded and it wasn't the rejection letter I was used too. You're probably wondering how did this happen right? Remember when I went to The London Book Fair? My PR told me to go through the exhibition directory and message all the literary agents for a meeting. Whilst I was doing that, most of them had links to their sites so I figured why not submit for the thousandth time, you never know. The directory is super long so I got bored doing it and Helen (PR) kept emailing 'Have you finished it?' All I can say is thank Jesus that she did that because that's when I submitted to Raimondi and Campbell. I got a response to read the whole of the novel. Now I've been at this position before and it usually ends there, so I sent the book in. Th...

Just a few of my highlights  - Releasing my first ever book, Emily Knight I AM - Going to the Brit Writers Awards 2012 - All the amazing interviews I got to do for my book with BBC 1XTRA, Brit Writers etc and the recommended reads my book got as well as the free advertising! Cheers!  - Having a launch party  - Passing my driving test and getting a car for Christmas  - Being promoted at work  - Becoming a blogger for Brit Writers  - Going to the Olympics  - Booking Stratford Circus to host Myself's show Icon in March 2013  - Performing at Breakin' Convention for the 2nd time  - Filming Street Dance All Stars The Movie and filming BBC 1's The Apprentice Woo it has been a great year for me and for the people I care about and I am so ready to see 2013!!! ...

2012 is the year where you'll know my NAME!

I know, I know. Saying I've been busy is no excuse for not writing in this blog but trust me I have been. So the good news. I went to New York which was fun for Chelsea (fellow bloggers) bday. We were so lucky that we had missed the snow and got loads of sun in November. Got to see the Statue of Liberty, up close, Times Square, 5th Avenue, went up the Empire State Building and of course the International House of Pancakes! I thought it would resemble the Hard Rock Cafe but the look is very laid back, the portions are not. The shopping side wasn't brill because their tax is so high it's not worth it and don't even let me get started on the street numbers and avenues. Confused! Me and Chels walked everywhere just because it was so confusing. I had a six pack when I got home. One of the highlights of the hol was definitely the musicians on the subway who were so lost in their music they kept forgetting that they weren't in Madison Square Gardens (We went there, I brief...
