Mama KP Mondays-Welcome | Musings
https://kpsimmon.wordpress.com/2015/08/10/mama-kp-mondays-welcome
Just the thoughts of KP. Asymp; Leave a comment. I know… It’s been awhile since I’ve been here. I’m going to be honest and tell you that life got in the way. Family, work, travel and moving…yes, moving! Couldn’t we do that and grow and flourish, dissect and purge, create and rejoice, and everything else together right here? I mean, I have this crazy blog that I do little with. I love to write. And I *think* I have thoughts on this topic that might be able to help others. So, I’m biting the bullet a...

Bitten by the Disney Bug: July 2011
http://disneybug.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Bitten by the Disney Bug. In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun! Saturday, July 30, 2011. Something About Me Saturday. I missed a few weeks of the Something About Me Saturday blog hop, but I am back at it now! Our weekends are so busy, that sometimes it's hard for me to get a post up. I have been trying to work on them ahead of time, but sometimes it doesn't work out. I want to say thanks to Disney Bird. For hosting this great hop! Yes, I am officially a Twilight mom :). Something ab...

Leap, Friend, Leap | Musings
https://kpsimmon.wordpress.com/2015/01/18/leap-friend-leap
Just the thoughts of KP. Leap, Friend, Leap. Asymp; 2 Comments. What’s your “Leap”? We all have one, I think. The one thing you wish-beyond-hope, don’t-have-the-words-to-truly-describe-it, it’s-burning-in-you-but-saying-it-out-loud-scares-the-crap-out-of-you that you want to take the leap and do. It’s in there. Even if you’ve long since buried it with all those grown-up LIFE things that tend to get in the way. I believe it’s still in there. Wouldn’t want anyone to know, right? Until you feel that same st...

Suspending Disbelief: January 2010
http://amberplante.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
The trials and triumphs of an aspiring writer. Wednesday, January 20, 2010. Cleverly disguised as an editor, waiting to throw off the cloak. I've got a hot cup of Hawaiian Hazelnut with a few shots of espresso to give it some perk; I've got a not-busy day at work filling in a spotlight of International Business Tips. Which I wrote); and I've got plenty of new inspiration to type a few hundred words, at least, so let's get to it! PS - The new AmberPlante.com website design is *stellar*! I'm thinking ....

Suspending Disbelief: 'Hi ... Have We Met?'
http://amberplante.blogspot.com/2012/06/hi-have-we-met.html
The trials and triumphs of an aspiring writer. Friday, June 1, 2012. Hi Have We Met? People, I am on a bridesmaid-dress-saving diet for the next 6 weeks, I got up at the crack this morning just to have my equally unenthused running partner cancel, and my arms are tanned two different colors. I think I need a break from my first-world problems, please. Thus, I have created something wonderful to help me dive into my self-created realities – and to share with all of you! Dialogue not working for you? If it...

Just the thoughts of KP. Asymp; Leave a comment. It’s that time again-Mama KP Mondays! I’m working hard on trying to find some balance in my days and trying to figure out what, exactly, that looks like. It’s surprisingly hard for me, and I know it is for a lot of you too. And while the topic of balance and rest is coming, that is not my topic for today. Even if I clearly have it on the brain right now. LOL. 8220;I know some people do it like this, but I do . I know it’s weird.”. Here’s the other th...

Suspending Disbelief: September 2011

The trials and triumphs of an aspiring writer. Friday, September 9, 2011. Remember the Flags: Where I was Sept. 11, 2001. Note: Sorry for going off topic – I just felt this was important to share. I'll be back to normal posts about writing soon :) Share your story with the group below. Cheers! After class, I packed up and headed just outside to the bus stop. Campus seemed oddly quiet, and there weren’t a lot of those pajama-clad students milling about. After a minute, an old high-school acq...8221; she a...

Suspending Disbelief: November 2010
http://amberplante.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
The trials and triumphs of an aspiring writer. Monday, November 29, 2010. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Sequel . Writing the sequel to my spy novel has been a lot like trying to refuel a plane in mid-air: There are so many things at work simultaneously; one wrong move can lead to a fiery explosion. Or re-write. Whatever. Nah, she’s just being the kick-ass girl I wrote. And still love, no matter how many times she makes me crazy. In the two years since creating ‘Manas,’ I’ve c...The recap. ...

Suspending Disbelief: March 2012
http://amberplante.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
The trials and triumphs of an aspiring writer. Thursday, March 29, 2012. YA vs Adult: Cupcake, anyone? I love a good book – one that I can enjoy equally in a bathrobe on my couch as in my heels during lunch breaks. I want to dig my fingers in and not be able to let go just as often as I want a casual read that's easy to slip back into after a few weeks. Just as much as my DC Cupcakes cookbook. Right now, I'm reading a beautiful memoir about French cooking, marriage and the cultural differences between li...
