Girl making writer run away (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

penelope

'girl' is the definition.

'writer run away' is the wordplay.
'writer' becomes 'pen' (something which writes).
'run away' becomes 'elope' (I've seen this in another clue).
'pen'+'elope'='PENELOPE'

'making' is the link.

(Other definitions for penelope that I've seen before include "Girl's name" , "The wife who waited for years for Odysseus" , "Woman" , "Mrs Odysseus" , "lady" .)
