We call it Bear Day!

I have officially christened the 6th August as Bear Day because it's my birthday! I'm officially 25 now and I feel extremely grown up, even had a talk with my friend about mortgages the other day THAT'S how grown I am.

I've been trying to get into more schools on the book days, you know - Roald Dahl Day, Children's Book Week, World Book Day etc but I don't understand schools. You would think they would be gagging for writers to come to their school. I mean when I was at school, the only writer I met was Michael Rosen, who is fab but I never met any other author and I would of loved that. J. K. Rowling is never gonna come to the schools so be happy any writer does! Anyway after time spent sending out emails getting responses like yeah, this sounds good blah blah I'm now going to stop forcing the school thing. I have a website, twitter, fb even an instagram now so if people want me they can holla.

And someone did. A radio station called Colourful Radio wants me to come in tomorrow to give a LIVE talk for their book corner!!!! They messaged me via my website and I am so excited, I just hope I don't say anything stupid or swear....

Life is pretty good right now, everything that was stressing me out earlier this year has now flipped and is looking grand. Decided that I'm going to take more control of my opportunities after experiencing too many disappointments and false hopes sooooooo I have created a Saturday Arts School for young people called Co-Star Arts! Offering Dance, Singing, Fashion, Creative Writing, I mean everything so we launch on October 5th and I am beyond excited. We already have young people interested so this could turn into something amazing. The best thing is I'm doing it with my mates, it just clicked one day  - why are we chasing people to help them? We have the talent, they should be coming to us so BOOM here's Co-Star Arts. Check it out on www.facebook.com/costararts or Twitter @CoStarArts and of course we follow back.

Went to a 31st birthday party which was a bouncy castle party. I don't have normal friends.

On to the 3rd book of Emily Knight. I just figured while I'm waiting on Raimondi and Campbell to get me a publishing deal, I'm going to just write as many stories about Emily that my brain can think off.

I'm teaching so many dance classes right now, I'm sure I'll drop a dress size. Win Win.

I finally saw Buckingham Palace. For some reason I thought it would be covered in gold. Almost got arrested for coming past the gates. Maybe there should of been a sign? Or even some rope? Silly policeman.

I know in my last blog I insulted the name North West. It is still a stupid name but she is soooo cute!!

The VMAS. Miley Cyrus. That is all.

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...
