Today is the first time I've gone to the Springhill Miners Museum. My mom/grandmother would never take me on account of being g traumatized by the disasters which killed many of our relatives. It was an intense experience & will surely fuel my writing. www.facebook.com/SpringhillMi...
#HorrorWritersChat I enjoy the yew. Its wood was used for English longbows. Every part of the plant is toxic aside from its pinky-red berries, which aren't actually berries but a form of cone. This fruit has the consistency of snot, and like snot, is technically edible but do you really want some?
Artemis Quinn 🏳️⚧️🎨📚The sun feels warmer, your skin buzzing with new life. Do you have a favorite poisonous plant, #HorrorWritersChat ? Why? What draws you to it?
#HorrorWritersChat Each blossom is a pustule. Bees coax fluids from my erupting skin. The bees' thick yellow legs turn orange when my blood stains the pollen. I scratch at my skin and it flakes off like fallen petals. When the bees leave me, I wonder who will collect the mad honey.
Artemis Quinn 🏳️⚧️🎨📚The strange compulsion to reach out and touch one of the plants overtakes you. As your fingers touch the petals, they tingle. You freeze, watching tendrils reach out cautiously from the plant. "The roots dig deeper into my veins, foxgloves sprouting from my skin." Finish it. #HorrorWritersChat
#HorrorWritersChat Yes! I have a ghost story about a haunted tree called The Last Trench. I'd tell you where you can read it, but apparently that is breaking the rules. 🤷🏽♀️
Artemis Quinn 🏳️⚧️🎨📚The garden is bright and vibrant with a wash of flowers. Oleander. Monkshood. Hydrangea and Mountain Laurel bushes. Small placquards stand beside each one. You realize as you read them, they're symptoms. QUESTION 2 - Have you ever written anything centering plants or poisons? #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat I love to write ecohorror. There's lots of great ecohorror out there, but one of my favourites isn't good at all. It's hilaribad. If you haven't seen Moonfall yet, get your popcorn & be prepared to shout at the tv a lot. Because Moonfall? That's not how physics works.
Artemis Quinn 🏳️⚧️🎨📚Howdy, #HorrorWritersChat ! The leaves whisper secrets at the edge of a forest that melts into a garden. Its quiet murmurs guide you. You take a step. Q1 - Introduce yourself, the horror you write, and... share your favorite piece of horror media with plants, poisons, forest, or eco-horror.
I used to have a system. Now I have a collection that's approximately as big and tidy as Smaug's hoard.
Immigrant PunkEnough of the horrors and doom scrolling. Let's talk about something fun. How do you arrange your books?
The last time I went here, I had a wonderful tour with a guide excited about his job. This time, our guide phoned it in and abandoned us to watch a video I couldn't see or hear. The whisky is good & the location gorgeous, but I wouldn't bother with the tour. www.glenoradistillery.com
Get smexy with it.

Tim Hortons was my go-to for road food. No more. I will not give my money to a company supporting JK fucking Rowling. Gonna make my trip very difficult, but I'll live on gas station sandwiches I guess.
