@john_dictater2 We are disoriented and twitching. Not at all pretty, but still alive.

In noir kinship...

It was a deeply insightful talk. Thank you.

And yes, if you find anything useful here, #Rotwelsch it.

I love this way of putting it (and will of course steal it) . . .

[Noir Nation @NoirNation]

Some writers fret about stating things in simple terms becuase they fear sounding obvious. Unnecessary complexity sometimes results.

If that's an issue, follow Yeats's counsel: read all philosophy and write as if you had read nothing.

How did thieves talk among themselves before 'The Godfather' cosa nostra lingo?

The quick answer: Rotwelsch.

The longer answer is in this @NYPL chat with Sarah Weinman (@sarahw) and @martin_puchner.

Our editor @VegaWire got in the question at 58:45: https://t.co/OcKcktoNMF

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

I watched my brother’s addictions take a brutal toll on my Dad. It aged him physically and spiritually. The idea that Joe Biden’s text of encouragement to his (obviously messed up) son is somehow damning or embarrassing really disgusts me.

Noir Nation N9 is nearing the finish line. We hope to launch on Nov 3.

We are still negotiating the rights and editing some stories, but it should be among the darkest and most international of our breed.

@emerald1910 You are not alone. Open the shades, wipe down the windows, let more light in.

@SteveGone58 @PoetryLifeTimes Tactile.

[Noir Nation @NoirNation]

@RchrdsnMark Plot, no. A discernible structure, yes.

[Noir Nation @NoirNation]

@Authoralexp Kill your darlings.

[Noir Nation @NoirNation]

@SteveGone58 @MPell2137 @JTravisGrundon @elkloriaseries @SwitchbladeMag We are hoping to get it out sooner and will provide an update via our mailing list in the next few days. The new issue will reflect some structural changes in keeping with reader and market needs.

@ProfMondo @DennisTafoya @MysteryTribune @ShotgunHoney Tough Crime accepts work only in RTF. No PDF.

It’s a good call, which likely saves the editor a hundred hours a year correcting formatting errors.

Writers might not be aware of how even one extra space might break a sentence in two when converted to HTML.

@DennisTafoya @MysteryTribune @ShotgunHoney If you can trim it to under 3,750, would like to take a look.

@VtDorch Query the editor directly via email.

[Noir Nation @NoirNation]

We are honored to include your work in Noir Nation No. 8 and look forward to publishing more in future issues.

[Noir Nation @NoirNation]

We are delighted that @PaulDBrazil's 'Close to the Bone' is out.

It's beautifully illustrated and designed.

More importantly, it is providing tools that will improve crime fiction (see Oliver Brennan's tips on using dialogue tags.)
