Princess Kate is a HOTTIE!!

I like everyone else around the world, watched the Royal Wedding and I have to say, it was lovely. Kate looked beautiful and her sister left me speechless. That was the sexiest wedding gear I have ever seen. Saw Harry giving her the eye!
My mum got all dressed up in her African gear....to watch it from our living room. She is funny.
Made me think about weddings and marriage. Marriage kind of freaks me out. I have no idea why. I think it's the whole becoming one that gets me. Oh yeah and the forever bit too but I definitely want a wedding. Buying that dress, would be the best shopping day ever. I haven't been to a wedding and I'm itching to go. I've got all these gorgeous Monsoon dresses to wear so come on guys put a ring on it!

Was feeling really low for a few days. I was feeling like I couldn't trust many people which was upsetting but I'm glad that I'm all better now. Positive! And ready to keep aiming for my amazing future!

MYSELF did B Supreme woman's dance show on Monday. It was really good. We put together a were wolf set to Howl by Florence and the Machine in two weeks but we rehearsed like crazy. But the best part was the costumes. The lace leotards with the ripped leggings. The white contacts that took me, Kloe and alot of the solution AGES to get in to my eyes but the effect was crazy. Then Kloe's mate Lauren did our wolf make up. I love a girl that can give me amazing cheekbones! The 2nd half of the show was the Bonnie and Clyde B-boy/girl battle. Rosa was amazing, I would of loved to have seen her battle Roxy. Roxy is this small girl who has crazy power and was doing moves that I couldn't even process. Honestly she is from another planet. I am a big fan!

After doing Collabo straight to B Supreme, I have really neglected my writing. I've been working on a short story for a competition but opportunities are coming up and I need to take action so I'm not dancing for a month! Lets re-phrase that, I'm not dancing for a month apart from the NEW MYSELF open class starting on May 9th cause I have to support that and I think zero dancing will drive me crazy. My friends Dad is a journalist so hopefully I can get some insight from him because I'm intrigued by journalism now! I got some books to finish so it feels good to be on track.

I brought my first ever desk yesterday. Writing on my bed with my cats leg draped over me, really isn't working anymore so I went to Wood Green and brought one from Argos. I didn't realise how heavy it was. I dropped it as soon as I picked it up and huffed and puffed to the bus stop. I was drenched with sweat when I finally sat down on the bus. Then it took me ages to figure out how to assemble it. I left out some pieces though but it's balancing so it's all good!

I'm going to watch Breakin' Convention on Monday. Sooo excited to see Boy Blue's piece especially. I'm ready for my mind to be blown!

I have a new book out!

That's right book 4 is out! This is my first anthology and it's absolutely gorgeous. I was asked to be part of The Very Merry Murder Club maybe a few weeks after my dad and I remember just thinking why is this opportunity coming now?! And it's with Farshore and imprint of HarperCollins. There's no way I can do it. I literally couldn't write. My agent Gemma spoke to me and the editors knew what had happened to me so it was really up to me. I prayed on it and God said to me you're not going to feel this way in October so I said yes. I won't lie I was worried that I really couldn't write this book but thank God for his strength and amazing agent and now it's here!  I've been ill all week but I saw loads of pic on social and my copy hasn't come yet so I dragged myself to Waterstones Islington to take pics of the book on the shelves. The booksellers were looking at me like are you going to buy this book. HA!  The amazing thing is I have even more ...

In the words of Carrie Bradshaw and just like that I was a YA author

It feels like the right time but this will be my last entry. I know! I've been writing in this blog for TEN YEARS but this year it just felt off. I couldn't pinpoint why that was but the other day I realised I started this blog because I was a dancer who was trying to understand the publishing world. I also was so scared of anyone reading my work hence why I started a blog. Ten years later I have fulfilled my goals! Back in May I had finished my first YA book, a love story based around a Black owned bookshop in Stoke Newington. How I wrote this book when I was heartbroken I have no idea. I vaguely remember sitting on the couch with headphones on playing O Holy Night on repeat at 3am writing. I made my deadline and I wasn't sure if the book was good. My first round of submission for another book had very conflicting feedback and honestly I didn't have it in me to experience that again. I just wanted a deal. Fast forward to September 21st and my book was sent on submissio...

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...
