My amazing bday weekend!!! YAY!!!

Sorry, it has been a while but I was inspired to write this blog because of my great bday! Went with Chelsea (fellow blogger) to Alton Towers to celebrate my 23rd and it was BRILLIANT!!! Went on all the greats - Air, Nemesis, Rita, Thirteen. This one was the shocker because we just had this little bar over our laps so I assumed it wouldn't be anything great. Plus, Chelsea pointed out that we actually couldn't see the ride because it was hidden behind Rita. So the ride starts and I think ok, then it goes up and drops down this steep drop. The type of drops that gets your stomach in your throat. Then we went through these double doors and we were in complete darkness facing a knight in armour before the ride just dropped down a level and then we went backwards in the dark. I was screaming “Get me off!”
Had to get a pic of Rita because our faces when that ride shot off was classic.
I avoided Oblivion because I believe that ride is the Devil.
If you find yourselves in Alton Towers, avoid Hex. I know it looks like some cool haunted house but DON'T GO IN THERE! It's the most pointless, confusing things I have ever witnessed.

I got some very cool presents. Lots of gorgeous notebooks for my equally gorgeous stories, the sexiest trainers, Beyonce's new album, money - overall very impressed with my presents! Oh and alot of cake. They're all trying to get me fat.

Had the best turn out to my dinner at The Diner. So thankful to those who came. Had four people cancel cause of the stupid riots and four people who didn't feel the need to explain their absence but had twelve great people come and complete my weekend.

Did Dancers Delight with Myself and was one of the best performances I have ever done. Was so much fun!! And apparently the set was really sexy which was news to us. One dancer said I was really sexy on stage and another said the set was like Viagra!!!

MYSELF unfortunately didn't get into the next round at Vegas but thank you to everyone who supported and helped raise money. UK still brought the championship home so good on you UK.

Finished my dance story! Yay! So that's book 2 out the way. Got to do my synopsis and query letter then I can start sending out. Got four different people reading my fantasy book so hopefully feed back will be nice and not “You're so crap! Stay in retail!”

London riots. All I can say to those looters is you will get yours.

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...
