So we've come to the end of another year. It seems to be flying by right? This year has been some amazing highs and low lows. I've had some great opportunities and a lot of situations and people, that are not positive, have gone out of my life and I couldn't be happier. I have never really experienced death before but my Granddad dying was a hard one for the family and then a family friend died as well. Then on top of that a lot of talented people that I looked up to died - Sue Townsend (author), Maya Angelou, Robin Williams, Joan Rivers. I actually had a goal that I would be interviewed by Joan on Fashion Police to play 'Bitch Stole My Look.'
I have had a lot of close calls with publishers. Unfortunately I haven't got the deal yet but it seems a lot of people in the industry are starting to know me which is amazing. I even had a publisher come to a reading and say she came just to see me! Also a publisher is interested in Emily as a trilogy. Let's see if I can fit all my crazy ideas into three books. I have dealt with unprofessional's hiring me for dance. I battled a fox that tried to make a den in my garden and of course my crazy Fergie! But a lot of very cool stuff has happened. Here are my 2014 highlights!
- Walking out of the bar on Jan 1st 2014!
- Making contacts at Harper Collins and Bloomsbury Publishing
- Debbie Moore's (founder of Pineapple Dance) all expense paid meal
- Beyonce Mrs Carter Tour
- Drake Nothing Was The Same Tour
- Justin 20/20 Experience Tour
- Wireless 2014, that was up the road from me! Iggy, Pharrell, Kanye's rant
- Reunited with a love
- Literally PR Summer Party, so many great opportunities for me
- For Books Sake Birthday Party, a boat party on the Thames and being told by a publisher that they came just for me!
- Reviews and interviews
- Emily Knight Warriors: Rose - my first ever pop up book was successful. Defo going to do another
- My surprise birthday at Thorpe Park and Brazilian BBQ with the Samba dancers, all paid for & Amsterdam and exploring the Anne Frank Museum and Red Light District. One of my best bdays
- Taking my first ever cruise
- Finishing Emily Knight 2 and starting on book 3 and a brand new fiction YA book
- Over 11K likes on FB
- The epic rise of Twitter followers after Rose release
- Promotions at work
- Kara's surprise Cabaret
- New Car
- Nivea comp
- Being accepted onto a great scheme (will go into more detail soon)
It's been a great year and even though there have been a lot of challenges, I have been made stronger because of it and wiser. I am so excited for 2015! I have two big ideas for writers and I can't wait to make it a reality. My number one hope is still a publishing deal so I am believing for an amazing one. I hope you all have an amazing New Year. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me this year. I appreciate it so much. See you next year! xx
