'Wait they stole the pancake and the plate?!'


Happy New Year All!

I hope everyone has had a great start to the year. I was re-reading my old posts and this time last year, your girl was going through it! All my contracts were drying up and I was trying to stay chirpy but it was an epic fail. Thankfully my start to the year has been pretty good. My first press is........ Cosmopolitan!! I'm still pinching myself. Such a cool way to start the year. Here's some screen shots of my interview but read more at the link below.

New Years Eve was fun! Church this year was at 4pm so we were done from about half 6 and all of us didn't know what to do. All the boring people decided to just go to bed lol. Me and Ebru went to VQ in Tottenham Court Road and celebrated with of course food. She was late meeting me and I had to be seated next to a table with all these guys who thought I had been stood up! We asked the manager if they do a count down and she said, 'No, never.' She was painfully shy and I kept telling her just start counting down and everyone will join in but she said she couldn't. I'm thinking you're the bloody manager of a 24hr restaurant in Central London! You must have some balls. I think some old lady actually did the countdown....
After we went to a friends house, where an argument happened at 3am about some bizarre topics and memories! I was getting so tired, I didn't know what was going on! So I figured my year isn't starting on this note. Then there was a stabbing in Old Street so Ebru couldn't go home! What a start to the year, right?

It took a while to get back into work mode. I was just so tired. I was staying up till 3am re-watching Game of Thrones. One night, I was watching GOT, it's about 3.30am. I go to grab my slippers and bang my foot on my mirror. I look down and there is blood everywhere because my baby toe nail had split in half! I was just sooooo tired and couldn't walk! I stumbled to my bed and held a tissue to stem the flow. Called my sister who thankfully picked up the phone and begged her to get me some plasters. I couldn't walk properly for about a week.

Then I had to go to the dentist. I HATE THE DENTIST! I only went because the back of my gum was hurting all through Christmas and I wasn't sure if a tooth was growing. They then tell me I have two cavities and the cheek is they said you may or may not have a tooth growing, we don't know. Seriously! I dragged my mum with me to the appointment, sat in the chair and literally cried my eyes out. I just knew that drill was coming. Let's just say it was 30 minutes of torture and I vowed to not have suger again. Clearly I have forgotten this as I have had chocolate, hot chocolate, french toast smothered in maple syrup today BUT I am more aware. I even ordered an electric toothbrush which feels so weird and I really don't like it but I'm trying guys. It's so weird how the dentist is on NHS yet you have to pay so much. No wonder no-one goes.

I do love Instagram but not so much when the young boys try to holla and then get offended when you politely say no. I had a 21 year old message me and then invite himself to my house! Then got super offended when I said, 'Err no mate.' He then blocked me! Ha! (Now writing this he has unblocked me, but I think I might block him just to be petty)

Chicago West...still better than North I think

Almost ready to print The Originals book!!! Have you pre-ordered your copy yet?

Went to Creams and they were doing a sale on crepes and pancakes so I ordered myself a pancake. The first one came and had a hair on it. They went to make another one when a group of boys ran in creating a scene. I saw them grab something and throw some contents up into the air before being chased out by the staff. Then one of the waitresses comes over and says, “I'm so sorry, they stole your pancake.”
Me: Huh?
Waitress: And the plate too
Me: Wait they stole the pancake and the plate?!
Now I'm trying not too laugh.
Waitress: I know it's terrible isn't it?
Me: What did they throw?
Waitress: The sprinkles
The thing is there were like 9 boys and the pancake wasn't big PLUS there was a sale so it was only £2 for the pancake!

Only for the month of January! And if you still haven't followed me - what is going on guys? I'm on Twitter @emilyknightiam and Instagram @abiolabello and @emilyknightiam

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...
