Hey podcast this is me Emma back on the Control-Alt Delete podcast

Thanks for tuning in again. So yes today's episode's very exciting. I interviewed a writer whose essay

went viral earlier this year. You probably did read it. It was a

moving story about a woman and the money that she may need at any given moment to

escape a job or a sleazy colleague or even an abusive partner. It was called A Story of the

Fuck Off Fund and I remember when this got published. Literally my Twitter

feed was on fire with this article. Everyone was talking about it, responding to it. It was retweeted thousands of times and

picked up by publications such as Jezebel, stylist, Refinery 29, the Observer, Salon, so many people wrote think pieces about it.

It just was everywhere and it was just such an interesting example of someone who wrote

something and it really did just blow up.

So I talked to Paulette about that experience, what it's like to go viral, but also all sorts of other things

such as the Writers Welcome Kit, which is something that Paulette's designed.

It's basically an amazing Writers course to get anyone interested or learn more about the

craft.

So really hope you enjoy this episode. It's very much for people who are interested in

creative careers. She's a really, really cool lady. So yes, I hope you enjoy this episode and

thanks again for tuning in to my podcast.

Hope you enjoy.

So I know that people listening will probably recognize your name, obviously I'm going to have to start

off with mentioning that your viral piece, the fuck-off fund, or the a story of the fuck-off fund.

I liked fuck-off better they added a story of so I just go with fuck off fund usually. That's straight to the point love it. Are you bored of people asking about it or is it okay that I'm sort of I have

so many questions? Oh no I'm totally clinging to the dying spotlight slowly fading away now.
