Ep. 294: Eliza Nellums on Adding Ticking Clocks to Up Your Tension

Eliza and Rachael talk about birds, maybe a bit too much, in both their writing and this podcast! Listen as they talk about upping the tension in their writing by realizing this sooner, rather than later. Raised in the Detroit suburbs, Eliza Nellums now lives with her cat outside Washington DC. Her first novel ALL THAT’S BRIGHT AND GONE was named as an Amazon Editor’s Pick for December, and was praised in the Washington Post and RealSimple Magazine. Her second novel THE BONE CAY was released in December. She is a member of the Metro Wriders, a weekly critique group that meets in Dupont Circle. An amateur botanist and avid gardener, she divides her time between plants, books, and cats.How Do You Write Podcast: Explore the processes of working writers with bestselling author Rachael Herron.
