Welcome to Carrie On...

Thank you for visiting my blog!  People need each other, and I am honored that you are allowing me to be your literary friend.  When we take time to share our reading and writing with others, it becomes more meaningful, comfortable, and passionate.  Let's carry on together!

I am pleased to welcome my very own children as our first guests!  Since they wanted to interview me, I will let them take the reigns from here:


Kids:  We are so excited to do a super short interview of our mom, today!  Are you ready, Mom?

Carrie:  You betcha!

Kids:  Did that count as the first question?

Carrie:  Um, no.  Start now.

Kids:  Okay, fine.

Little C:  What is your favorite picture book?

Carrie:  Well, it certainly is hard to choose just one, but a few of my favorites are Chloe and the Lion by Mac Barnett, Boy + Bot by Ame Dyckman, and Being Frank by Donna W. Earnhardt.  I love books that are funny, have unexpected twists, and capture the wonder of being a child.

E-Rock:  What is your favorite gum flavor?

Carrie:  I can still smell and taste the tangy super-powered grape bursts of flavor that I enjoyed as a child!  It made really huge bubbles, too!

Big C:  What is your main goal as a writer?

Carrie:  Impacting children in a positive way through literary experiences has always been my goal as a teacher, writer, and mom.  My hope is to inspire children so much that they will ooze excitement, and then go out and affect others in the same way, too.

Kids:  Since we each asked a question now, can we go play?

Carrie:  Didn't you want to tell our loyal readers about the Carrie On...Book Clubs, that you will be hosting?

Kids:  Oh, yeah!  Be sure to subscribe so you won't miss the chance to be part of our book clubs.  They start on June 1st!  We want you to read with us, and share your comments.  Can't wait to read together!

I love the clean, bright look of your new site--and the humor in your interview. I'm taking the VIBC with you--I'm looking forward to your video postings. :-)

Congratulations on launching your site, Carrie - it's really beautiful! I love the color and the clean lines, and the header graphic is very cute. Your kids conducted an excellent interview - I think they have careers in broadcasting ahead of them :) Looking forward to seeing more!

I told Kristen what I had in mind for the logo, and she magically whipped up the perfect banner! Thanks for the support, Penny!

Hello to my friends in Mrs. Trask's class! I think you are super, too! Did you know that you don't even need to be famous to have a website? This is a chance for all of us to shine together! It is a place to connect and share our progress and success in writing and reading. I will announce a fun contest soon, and Book Clubs will start on June 1. This is our way to stay connected this summer, too! Thanks for visiting!

    As a children’s writer, and a teacher, my goal is to help you carry on.  Sometimes learning is challenging, so why go it alone?  Your journey will be more meaningful and comfortable with friends to share it with. Together, we'll get up close and personal with authors, illustrators, and the best of picture books.  If we work together, great things will follow!
