Happy doesn't describe how I feel today. Bouncy, tired, excited, hyper, impossibly pleased as a pleased Penny can be. The lovely folk at Unbound (and I do believe they are quite lovely, it’s not mere botty licking) launched the campaign to get my memoir First in the World funded.

My days are often, ah, rather varied. More on that another day. And being a night owl means I can be a touch naughty with sleep times. Last night around 2am, I wrote a 100 flash fiction, composed some tweets, read some of the magnificent H is for Hawk. In bed yes, sleepy? No chance.

I'm not beating myself up too much. I got through to that euphoric moment. It happened. Goodness effing hell with baubles on. First in the World Somewhere launched!

And thanks to my fabulous friends for starting the process! You are treasures. Please share and coax her friends to pledge an enter Penny World. It's a shocking, cheeky world sometimes. It's a determined activist world at others. But I can almost put a guarantee down that most of the world will not have read anything like it.

Do feel free to ask a question, no matter its nature. I’m here and I’m ready for anything. Go on, be nosy. What was I doing Jan 3rd 1987...?
