  • Why Lance?

    Because the word blog sounds like something that comes out of a person's nose. This blog is named after my old friend Sarah's manifestation of a dreamy Wyoming cowboy named Lance.
  • About me

    I'm a journalist who spends my Mondays through Fridays writing other people's stories, a chronic procrastinator who needs structure. I once quit my job to write a book and like most writers, I made up excuses why I couldn't keep at it.

    My boyfriend fiancé husband Joe (and new baby Henry) like to sleep in late on the weekends, which means I end up browsing celebrity tabloid websites while our dog snores under the covers.

    I created Lance to better spend that time. I thought maybe it would jump start a second attempt at writing a novel.

    I'm itching to get The Move On, as my dad likes to say. I'm 26 27 28 29 30 and I'm afraid if I don't start now, I'll get caught up in something else.

    We all do.

Bianchi’s Goodwill comeback tour

30 Apr 2009

Hello friends, Bianchi and I need your help! This June, we’re riding in a 62.5-mile charity bike race through Buffalo, N.Y. and we’re sweating bullets because … well … neither of us has begun fundraising. Please check out my Ride for Roswell homepage and read my fundraising letter. For those of you accustomed to verbose Lance posts, I [...]

Dear Heelya’s students, I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to return your letters. They’ve sat in a pile on my kitchen table for days now. I’ve read them and re-read them so many times while eating my morning cereal that I’ve memorized many of your sentiments. Per your request, I’m posting your last correspondences [...]

For red-headed pug lovers and hometown farmers

27 Apr 2009

This ain’t me, but if it were, I’d be fine with it. The hair! The pug! The ankle socks! The Mary Janes! I wish this chick lived in St. Pete so we could kick it over beer and peanuts. I wish I hadn’t just happened upon this picture while randomly searching for PUGS on Flickr. [...]

I’m still here!

22 Apr 2009

This is my 100th post. It’s a post I started at midnight about two weeks ago but fell asleep in the middle of writing. When I woke up the next morning, I was 27 years old, had a 9 a.m. phone interview with a mathematician from Maine, a cover story due about a ballet dancer [...]

Cheap thrills.

03 Apr 2009

Meet my new wheels. She’s a real Bianchi. Light as a feather and the color of a robin’s egg, my Bianchi came from Salvation Army. She’s got pizza-cutter tires and handlebars shaped like my pug’s tail. When I wedged her into the front seat of my Honda Civic, she contorted into a kind of fetal [...]
