NEVER GO THERE!!

Going into overdrive to get an agent. I've finished my kids picture book and I'm currently writing a young adults book. Figured it's best not to limit myself and be open to write as many different things as I can, just to see where my strength lies. It's funny to think that all I need is someone to sign me and then BAM I can get published. Come on agents!!!! Holla at me.
They say JK Rowling is the worlds RICHEST writer. She's almost worth $1 billion. I admit she has set the bar high but honestly, nothings better than a challenge.

I've seen some amazing talent for my mates in the last two weeks. Ebru performing at Yoyo's and mashed up the stage. Then I hear her on Kiss FM with her song 'Prisoner.' I screamed and Fergie ran out the room. Then Kloe and Jared's solo piece's at Breakout which were amazing. For some reason my address on my ticket said Hackney, London, Afghanistan. Clearly I won't be receiving any mail from that theatre. It's so great to see people's growth. Never felt more grateful for the talent that surrounds me. Fiona and Natalie were at Yoyo's. I haven't seen the twins in forever so it was good catching up. Fiona told me she reads my blogs and likes it! I never think about the fact that people are gonna like it!! That made me v happy, thanks Fi xxx

Got  my tattoo redone. Oh my - the pain. I was breathing like I was giving birth. It felt like someone was slowly slicing my hand with a knife and they just wouldn't stop.I got told off by the tattoo dude. Apparently a tattoo is not a souvenir. He just doesn't understand. I got my tat done in Falarakii, Greece. DO NOT EVER GO THERE! Greece, I think of Athens, Greek mythology, gorgeous food. None of that here. It was the worst holiday ever. My fault for wanting a lazy beach holiday when I hate beach holidays. I love to explore and learn the history cause come on what do I really need a tan for? I got an ear infection from my ears popping violently on the plane so I lived on soup for a week. We were in the ultra tourist section so no Greek food anywhere. Got stalked by a stray dog twice and then one chased Naomi around the beach. So when I got a henna tattoo done and the guy said, “Hey, why don't you get a real one?” I thought why not. It only cost like 20 euros. It was one of the rare great things that happened on that holiday, apart from smashing plates and doing Greek dancing in the octopus restaurant. So damn straight it was a souvenir. Obviously not a great one, when I have to get it re done 2 years later. It does look very pretty.

My kids are looking sooooo much better. The set is getting there but I couldn't believe it when one of the 12yr olds were insecure about wearing a shirt with leggings!! I mean what's to be insecure about?? She's a skinny little thing. There's still work to be done but there performing at the LSO on weds for 7pm so time is kind of up. I swear they do this on purpose to stress me out. Last time they performed there, their tech was rubbish. When we went back to practice it was rubbish. On stage. Absolutely amazing.

We fear my aunt and cousins are caught in the earthquake in Japan so please pray for their safety.

I know I've said this before but it bares repeating. Who the hell voted these Tories into power???? Next time people vote better or just vote period!!

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...

2012 = A Legendary Year!!!

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...
