Jon Snow's bum is everything great in the world

Check me out with my weekly post :)

Let me not get cocky before I go back to blogging monthly

So I get Emily Knight I am...Awakened NEXT WEEK!!! I cannot wait to hold it. I can't lie I'm a bit nervous to give it to reviewers. I feel like the first book got so many good reviews and it was such a blessing, so I hope they don't read book 2 and think what is this??

Men. I don't get them. I swear at 29 I still don't understand them. I still don't know who are the ones you should invest your time in, who are playing games. I legit get a headache when I think about them. The experiences that I have had, my friends have had could fill a billion page novel. I do wonder what was God thinking with this man/woman thing. I get pregnancy and all that but man, they are so exhausting. Even as I write this, I have a headache and I'm tired. Then I was talking to my friend about relationships and to be fair, my mindset can be quite masculine, so we were talking about a situation and she just snapped and said, “Are you even a chick though? No girl thinks like this!” Goodness lol

My parents celebrated 35 years of marriage! My cuties. True marriage goals.

I went flat hunting the other day. Well studio flat hunting. I don't know why I was looking at studio flats. Someone I used to be close with, used to say that the studio flats were so cool, so I think that's why it was in my head. I basically was shown a space that was smaller than my room and for the great price of a grand a month.
I came in and said, “Oh, is this it?”
The estate agent attempted to tell me that this was one of the biggest studio flats he had. I looked at him like you're really proud of this?
I sarcastically asked, “Do they take pets?”
The estate agent (very seriously). “No, the landlord is very strict on that. Absolutely no pets.”
I looked at him like he was mad (which he is) and said, “Of course he is! My cat would probably kill himself. I'd get depression living in this box.”
As you can tell, I didn't put an offer in.

Teyanna Taylor. My new obsession.

I went into my work account and there was an email from someone from Twitter. So I opened it up and there were all these pics of this man, you know selfies and stuff and then it went downstairs, if you get my drift and I was like 'oh my gosh!' Then I thought - maybe one of the girls know him? And it was for them! Lol but I don't think it was. The girls were completely in shock and Leanne even said, “We have to call the police!” I couldn't stop laughing.

I didn't know why there were so many programmes about Princess Diana, so I asked my mum and she kinda gave me this weird look and said, “Were you alive when Princess Diana was?”
I said, “Mum! If she died in 1997 and I was born in 1988...”
Mum then goes. “Yeah I know but I just don't remember you being alive when she was.”
What is she talking about?

Did you watch the VMA's? Oh Lord, what was Lorde doing? Whoever authorised her to do that stupid dance, which she did not dance well should be fired. Absolutely loved Pink's speech about beauty!

Was meant to go Carnival but I fell asleep and by the time I woke it was pointless so I went for a walk in the park with Ebru and went to McDonalds drive in. Living the dream!

This whole KKK thing is the oddest thing ever. You have one life and chose to use it for hate. Like you were literally born to be hateful to people! How sad is that? I was watching the news cause they were interviewing one of the KKK leaders and he said, “Black people have a right to be black.” I mean no shit!

The Youth Take Over Show was AMAZING!!!!! Everyone that came loved it and the premiere of Speak Ur Truth went down so well. You have to go on @relentlessyouthldn Instagram to see clips of the dances and here is the link to part 1, Episode 1 of Speak Ur Truth - so funny youtu.be/GwSx6oEg3aQ

Game of Thrones Finale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my flipping word. I loved it! Finally Sansa! I was literally thinking someone kill her today. Jon Snow's bum is everything great in the world. I want to be Arya Stark. She is so savage.


Now planning the book launch party. I know what I want to do but I'm not going to lie, the idea of doing it is so exhausting to my soul. This also closes TOMORROW!! Make sure you enter!

Pray for Houston.

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...
