The Rain Room

               Everyone completely flopped me with the NYE party. I was told 'Come to this one, it's gonna be live.' New Years Eve comes round 'Oh it's cancelled.' 'I'm sick.' All I wanted was a Project X style party to go crazy on the roof. Is that really too much to ask? Wished that Rosa was about cause she can smell a party but she's preggerz in Wales so that wouldn't be very appropriate. Decided to go to my mate's party on my road, so I figured let me go home, eat, change then go. Was on the bus and there was this couple not really kissing but their lips were just connected when they got on the bus. They had to come on sideways to keep their lips together. It was super weird. I dunno if it was a dare but for the whole journey their lips were touching but they weren't kissing. The girl looked embarrassed, which is a bit silly because she could just move her head and voila their lips wouldn't touch anymore. She tried to hide her face in her hood but he slapped her hood away which was kinda funny. And every time she wanted to be speak she had to do it out of the side of her mouth. Awkward. They got off the bus with lips locked, walking sideways. Anyway I got home, ate whilst watching EastEnders and half of Project X, then I fell asleep. How Rock 'n' Roll.

I got a car!!!!!! Now, I love it but it took a while to get there. No one tells you driving a  car by yourself is the scariest thing in the world and Londoners love to beep their damn horns. I've had so many episodes - the worst was being stuck in traffic for 20 min, finally got out of it, took a wrong turning and ended up back on the road I was just on. I was so pissed off. So I figured instead of going all the way around, I'll just do a U turn like most people were doing. The other side of the road was clear so I had to take my chance. When I went to go in reverse, the car stalled. Then it stalled again and again by now this road that was empty was now building up traffic because of me, blocking the road. Everyone is beeping and looking at me. I'm stressing out so I just turn off the engine and sit there. These two men walked past and asked if I was ok and I cried, 'No! I don't know how to work this car!' I finally calmed down enough to reverse the damn thing and drove off. If I could of left the car in the street and took the bus home I really would off. And this happened after I went to that hell, otherwise known as Westfields car park. Almost crashed into another car and crashed into a pole because I was in first gear instead of reverse.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Kardashians. I find them ridiculously hilarious but Kim and Kanye having a baby. Oh dear, I hope the baby looks like Kim. The fact that she's still married and having another man's baby - it's a bit much. At least she'll get a definite endorsement from the birth - the exercise video.

I have a new crush to replace Taylor Lautner. Hugh Jackman. He was on Graham Norton. Funny, sexy and talented. Yep Hugh is the man!

I went to this exhibition at The Barbican with my sister called The Rain Room. It is amazing. It's like the ceiling has sensors so when you step into the rain, whether you step, the rain stops. We waited 2 1/2 hours for it and you can stay in the room for as long as you want but really how much rain can someone take?  For some strange reason I got pretty wet and she didn't

Got my first sales report for Emily Knight I AM. It's looking good! But I want more!!!!! Excited about Emily Knight 2.

Finally went to the Burger King machine in Leicester Square. OMG they have the massive drink machines unlimited for £1.45! and all the different flavours of Coke, Sprite, Fantas, Dr Pepper. I tried every thing. Sprite Strawberry and Fanta Cherry mmmm

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 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...

Phoebe screaming 'MY EYES' is the best way to describe how I felt seeing that picture.

Did anyone else blink and it's June? I can't even believe 6 months has gone and just so much has happened. Apart from my dad it's been a great year so far and for that I'm grateful. I'll honestly take any good news I can get at this point.  I hit a career highlight. I got to chair a panel for The London Book Fair! Now to do this you usually have to pitch and I'm sure I've pitched before but this time the amazing Bec, who was organising it asked me to do it! It was so much fun and I wish it was longer but it made me look at my LBF journey and honestly wow. I went from no one talking to me, to winning Trailblazers to chairing LBF. What's so funny is I've always wanted to chair Waterstones events cause they look like loads of fun so hopefully now I'll get asked :). I was asked to do another LBF event - who am I even? Lol. I had to do a Q and A with Yomi Adegoke, co-author of Slay In Your Lane. So glad that I'm getting these fun opportunities. Ca...
