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 briefly forgot that its not a garden but a building) and the preacher man that was praising God openly for his red bull with no alcohol. Oh he was brilliant! All I can say is New York is the fat kid and London is the midget.

My book is getting published. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I'm so excited is unreal. My career is finally starting and I'm so excited to see what happens. All I can say is 2012 where you will know my name and my face! Trust me.
I love how God will let you get comfortable in your routine and suddenly everything changes. I have the best feeling about 2012 in terms of my writing and dance and I can't wait. 2011 has been an amazing year. If you knew where I was last year, this is a huge U turn. The only way is up people.

Before I sign of for the year, I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who has read this blog, supported me and just been there to give me a helping hand. I hope this blog has made you laugh as much as it made me and trust me they'll be even more crazy stories in 2012.

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!!! ...
