I have just discovered a television program that is not new to others, but is new to me. It has hilarious, incredible and rapid-fire dialogue that almost makes me cry. Where has it been all my life? I may have just stumbled into one of the greatest comfort shows ever made, part razor wit, part heart throb, and part odd and quirky small-town magic. Rapid-fire, literary, ridiculous, layered dialogue. Coffee obsessions, book nerd joy, awkward relationships.

I joined Medium because I wanted to write. I know I could have sat at home and written as much as I wanted to. But that would be the proverbial tree falling in the forest. Big deal. If I intended to do this, I wanted my tree to be heard. So I write. A lot. IN THE beginning, I SPENT EVERY MINUTE I HAD READING STORIES BY OTHER WRITERS BASED ON THEIR SUBJECT AND TOPIC THAT WOULD HELP ME IMPROVE MY INCOME. I CLAPED AND MADE COMMENTS ON THOSE STORIES AFTER I READ THEM.

On Wednesday, April 30, I broke my leg. Not my whole leg, but only my left fibula. I must tell you at this point that I have a condition known as Multiple Sclerosis, which causes me to wobble when I walk, probably a condition that contributed to my falling off my four-and-a-half-inch porch step while I was trying to step down to go to Saint Peggy’s car. Actually, my left shoe sole caught on the step and never would move, so I sat down hard with my knee popping and bent at a most acute angle.

Atheneum, $19.99 (304p) ISBN 978-1-6659-7754-8In this lucid, accessible verse memoir, Atkins (Green Promises) chronicles her experiences as a college freshman healing from the trauma of sexual violence and finding her voice through poetry.

Does Wales speak a combination of German-ish and lazy English? Smarter me, Frank, my guest:Welsh (Cymraeg) is actually a completely separate language from English and isn’t a Germanic language at all.

AgainDon Martin, real-life writer, author, storyteller. ·Follow2 min read·--Photo by Peggy Anke on UnsplashI intend it to bring a powerful one-two punch to bludgeon both your common sense and your good taste. In a way, I hate to call it “hump-day humor” because that may be a great disservice to the word humor. There is, however, no cute alliteration for the word oddness. Some items here in the future may not be funny but only strange.
