...but my hair was in such a state that I couldn't do it to myself.


Next week we will be in 2020. How crazy is that? I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Mine was good. I got stuck doing the cooking again! But there was no arguing so a success! It's always so strange that gap between Christmas and New Years because I feel like there's all this stuff I want to do before the year is up and yet just chilling out has been the best. This break has been so overdue and I am really loving just moving at this glacier speed. I told myself I would have finished my new book by the end of the year...yeah I love how ambitious I am! I haven't worked on it since I've had my break.

I just clocked this morning that my third book is out in just over 9 months. Why that gives me anxiety I have no idea! I am debating whether to have a book launch party. I just don't know if I can be asked to organise it. Next year is already looking full on. Grrrr I just need another me really.

I was thinking about my highlights for the year and one of them was defo a secondary school in Luxembourg which picked my Emily Knight book as their book of the month for their Year 7's! Love!!!!


YOU is back. I literally was thinking about re-watching season 1 and the next day Aleta told me season 2 drops on Boxing Day. I have stayed away from social media to avoid anyone ruining it. I also started Greenleaf and re-watching Game of Thrones. Now knowing how it ends, they really do tell you throughout the series what's going to happen! Speaking of thrones I saw Nathalie Emmanuel who plays Missandei in the hairdressers! I was looking at her and thinking she looks so familiar so I said are you an actress and when she said yes, I was like OMG YOU WERE ON GOT!!!! I had to work so hard to keep my fan girl vibes down cause I knew Annie would cuss me and it was so hard! I really wanted a pic but my hair was in such a state that I couldn't do it to myself. I told Annie and Afosina off. They should have told me she was booked in!

And just to top off my 2019, Missy FREAKING Elliot liked my video! I went to Aleta's class and it was to a Missy track. Daniella asked someone to film it so I was in the video. I posted it and Missy liked it. My 2019 is complete!

Not long now till 2020. This decade has been life changing and I pray that the next 10 years is as amazing as this one has been. I have one more blag dropping on NY Eve x

Have a read of the fun piece I did for Female First Magazine for Gen Alpha Z. Cheers Literally PR for sorting

Oh and I changed the iPhone to a Samsung. Sorry guys I'm too loyal :)

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 = A Legendary Year!!!

So today is the last day of the best year I have ever had. Honestly, I was told by my Pastor that this year would be like Days of Heaven on Earth and it really was. Just a few of my highlights  - Releasing my first ever book, Emily Knight I AM - Going to the Brit Writers Awards 2012 - All the amazing interviews I got to do for my book with BBC 1XTRA, Brit Writers etc and the recommended reads my book got as well as the free advertising! Cheers!  - Having a launch party  - Passing my driving test and getting a car for Christmas  - Being promoted at work  - Becoming a blogger for Brit Writers  - Going to the Olympics  - Booking Stratford Circus to host Myself's show Icon in March 2013  - Performing at Breakin' Convention for the 2nd time  - Filming Street Dance All Stars The Movie and filming BBC 1's The Apprentice Woo it has been a great year for me and for the people I care about and I am so ready to see 2013!!! ...

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...
