On this episode I sat down with Elle Richmond, author of the upcoming novel The Miracle of Monsters.

Listen as Elle describes her writing journey that started years ago, but was kicked into high gear when she received some tough love and accountability from those closest to her.

Indeed, Elle says that her primary love language is accountability.

Elle and I discuss her writing process (she's a plotter), the writing tool she loves most (Scrivener), and her friendship / workshops / pact with fellow writer Drew (Yet Podcast episode 17).

Be encouraged and inspired by Elle's tenacity and commitment, and her "burn the ships" approach to writing. For Elle, writing is no longer just a passion project - she recognizes that it's a job - and she's excited to put in the work.

Are you struggling to get serious about your writing project? Maybe some tough love from Elle is exactly what you need.
