'I thought Django Unchained was a concert...'

I exercised literally from 11am-8pm, finishing off with Leanne's killer Zumba session. I didn't even know they did sit ups in Zumba let alone 150 of them. I limped unattractively to the bus stop.

The problem with me is I get bored very easily. I don't know why that is but after a while I just tune out and when I'm bored, I usually do something very silly that I regret later. Sooo my plan is to fill my days with something, ANYTHING! So that my brain is constantly focused on something. I think that's why I have that weird fear of marriage. I just think forever is a long time and what if I get bored of being married? Guys think that girls dream of their wedding day to the T. I don't. I've never thought about a dress, colour scheme. In fact I'm the girl who has nightmares that I get proposed to and I don't say anything. My other nightmare is that it's my dress rehearsal for the wedding and I run away and no-one can find me and everyone is pissed at me.

These past 2 weeks, a lot of my friends have been talking about their ex-boyfriends. I can't stand anyone being okay with my exes that's my friend. I just think leave it out! The worst thing (it makes me cringe) is when your friends beg it with your ex for various reasons, maybe they admire him for x,y,z or they want a favour but it really annoys me. Like for instance, a friend of mine responded to an ex with Thank you! :) XXX <3 - Isn't that a bit much? I saw that and thought are you okay? I'm never okay with friends exes, I've been known to even shout at them the odd time. Is it too much to ask for people to ignore mine? NO it's not!!

Went to dinner with the MYSELF girls where we spent the majority of the night cussing each others exes. It was hilarious. One of the girls thought her bf was gay but didn't care because he got her over hot! loool we started a twitter war - Tanya tweeted at me that no-one exes were as bad as mine. Oh dear - then everyone started asking me why did you even go with him? You know when people are cussing something and everything there saying is true it's just best not to respond, so I didn't. Tan claimed hers was the best looking...until we saw a picture!

I've started saying loool instead of just laughing. How weird is that?

I watched a girl online, Giovanni Plaistow, I think her name was supposedly take out a tampon and eat it. What a pathetic fame whore. The lengths people go to for people to know their name. This Kardashian generation is getting crazy! When did talent become unnecessary?

Naomi has left me for 3 MONTHS to help orpahns in Uganda. She was gone for 6 weeks in Hong Kong and by the 4th week I was like 'where is she?!!'

My group MYSELF had a competition at this show called Show & Prove and came 2nd!! I was so happy for them. It was a set without Kloe and it finally showed those idiot people who say can they perform without Kloe what we can do. What do they think would happen? They would stand on stage and play dumb? That performance definitely shut a few people up and it's about bloody time. I couldn't go to the show because we were celebrating my brother's 30th bday. We went to see Django Unchained. I fought hard for Les Mis and failed miserably. I thought the film was about a cowboy not slavery! But it was a sick film and extremely funny. That evening I spoke to Aleta about the film and she said 'Oh it's a film, I thought Django Unchained was a concert.' When I finally stopped laughing, I asked, 'Haven't you seen the posters everywhere?' She replied, 'Nah, I just saw all the tweets saying Django is sick and I thought that must be some good music.'

Jonzi D -Breakin Convention mastermind told us at our BC Audition that Kloe is lucky to have us as dancers. Jazmyn looked at me and smiled as I've been saying that for years! He also said 'Myself have a unique style that no-one is doing right now and it's very special.' Best praise ever.

Sent out all books to PR contacts, so fingers crossed I get amazing responses. Helen read my book and said she couldn't put it down! Result! Spoke to Mr Giles Greenfield, who said it was great my book was getting positive responses. I'm still deciding who will do the 2nd Emily book but it will most likely definitely be him or another illustrator I've been speaking too.

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

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

My meal was £22 and it was so small I ate it in 3 mouthfuls.

Happy World Afro Day! I had no idea this was even a day so yes for us! How gorgeous is this? I can't remember what country it's in but I saw it some weeks ago on Twitter. Getting into the swing of writing these blogs is harder than I thought. I'm not sure why I'm finding it tricky to stay on top of it and I know I'll regret it especially when I read back over it at the end of the year.  I turned another year older and despite it being a year that is turning out to be unpredictable I'm thankful that I'm here to see another birthday. It's always hard planning what to do, something that I know won't cost an arm and a leg. In the end I spent it eating lol. Helen and I went to this amazing Creole restaurant, literally a hidden gem that had the most amazing food and drinks that were even too strong for Helen!  I have no idea why it rained on my birthday! In the middle of summer!! Honestly sometimes I can't deal with this country. Then I got changed for
