Let’s talk about using poisons in our writing. People have been using poisons as long as we’ve been around, but there’s a lot of misconceptions around them, no doubt fueled in part by stories like Romeo & Juliet. ‪@RachelEmmaShaw‬ joins us to talk about how poisons work, the different effects they can have, and how to write about them. Plus, some tips on inventing your own!
