WILD SCARED CRAZY

From wildest dreams, to crazy realities!… site updating…

Ode To Ann M. Martin

Words wouldn’t have been my friends,
If not for the stories you weaved.
Your books were my escapade,
And Baby-Sitters’ Club, my home.

 
When reality seemed so harsh,
And I had no one to turn to,
I had Kristy, Mary Anne & Claudia,
Standing by me through everything.

 
I’ve lived in your books,
More than in the real world.
You’re my role model.
You’re the reason I write.

For NaPoWriMo Day 14.

    It’s great to have had someone that saw our gifts and helped open them up to us. ..

    Aww. 🙂 I never read the Baby-Sitters’ Club books (I’m a guy, that probably has something to do with it). But I’ve been thinking a lot this week about the books I read as a child, because it was in the news the other day that Beverly Cleary turned 104 years old (she’s still alive), and I read most of the Ramona books and the Henry books as a kid. From what I’ve read of her as an adult, she was pretty groundbreaking when she started writing in the 1950s because she was writing about ordinary children living ordinary lives. A lot of my creative friends now write fantasy and stuff like that, because they can make the world whatever they want, but like Mrs. Cleary, I prefer to write about ordinary people because I can relate.

      Nice. The books we read growing up tend to stick with us throughout our life. 💕🤗🤗🤗

    I loved her books too. Claudia was always my favorite character! I read more Sweet Valley Twins than Babysitters Club growing up, but liked both a lot. It is amazing how our first book loves stay with us our whole lives!

      Wow! Finally!! It’s so great to know someone who knows BSC!! None of my friends do. 🙈🙈❣️💕

        Aw, glad I could make you feel better. Did you like the old Babysitter’s Club movie? All I remember about it is that it featured the girl who played Alex Mack on Nickelodeon lol. I should really look it up and watch it again sometime! It has been so long!

      2. WildHeart Avatar

        I haven’t watched the movie. I guess I should. 😍

      3. marandarussell Avatar

        I used to read the Little Sister (Karen) series of books too.

      4. WildHeart Avatar

        I read a few from that series. It’s just so blurry in my mind. Seems like it was a long long ago. When this lockdown is over, I’m gonna get those books. 😍😍
