2012 = A Legendary Year!!!

So today is the last day of the best year I have ever had. Honestly, I was told by my Pastor that this year would be like Days of Heaven on Earth and it really was. 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!!!

My obsession with Taylor Lautner has slightly dulled since the ending of Twilight. I felt so emotional watching the last movie and I honestly felt like I had gone through a break up. Me and Chelsea stayed to the very end at the cinema, like the weirdos we are because we are 'true fans' as Chelsea put it and to drown my sorrows, she sent me the pic above. That is love. Just take a moment for that stomach.
It's funny the first time she forced me to see Twilight I was so against it. I was at the front of a very long cue with overexcited girls and barriers put around us, like we were at a concert and not going in to watch, what I thought would be a crap film but when the scene in New Moon of Taylor walking topless through the rain, I converted instantly.

So to sign of for 2012, I just want to thank everyone for their endless support and reading this crazy blog of mine. I will be blogging every other Monday so that's 2 blogs a month, you lucky things! I realised that a lot seems to happen so I need to fill ya'll in. Have a great new year beautiful people!!  Ciao for now xxx

    Ha hah! Fancy finding you! I was on Brit Writers checking out the rules in terms of what to do when it comes to sending off your book to the Dragon's Den - I mean agents - and I see this good luck message by Abiola Bella.
    I check out your site, see your picture and WHAM! It's you!
    Your message sure as hell inspired me.
    Keep going...Keep going...Keep going!!!
    (I still faintly remember the first story I ever read of yours, The Magnolia...something, help me out here! lol)

    Peace!

      Heya,

      Well, it's a little stagnated at the moment! I finished one of my many titles (the one I decided to take seriously) and am putting it to rest until June. I'll look at it again in summer, work on a synopsis, polish that along with a query then I dunno, collect rejection slips until I self publish lol? Who knows!
      The Jouney is long and winding...

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 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...
