  • 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 and I'm afraid if I don't start now, I'll get caught up in something else.

    We all do.

We could have easily watched it launch from the couch. The TV was already turned to the news.  It would have [...]

Meet my bridesmaids

23 Aug 2009

This is my maid of honor, my sister Heelya, whose real name is Holly. I’m a sucker for nicknames and whenever I give them, they tend to stick, so beware. When Holly and I were kids, she reminded me of Amelia Bedelia, the absent-minded, but endearing protagonist in those little paperbacks by Peggy Parish, so I [...]

Don’t give me your sass.

In case you were wondering, I finally settled on a pair of heels for my wedding. This be them. Oh, and I encourage you to check out these B&Bs. Joe and I will be staying at both on our honeymoon. Dreamers beware. Places like this can plant wild ideas in your head. The Porcupine The [...]

I’ll brb!

20 Aug 2009

I’d be lying if it I didn’t say wedding-planning has consumed every fiber of my being, but I’d also be lying if I didn’t point out that my day job ain’t helping much either. Can’t. Write. Another. Word. Creativity. Spread. Thin. Picture a wad of gum. (I hate gum.) Now picture a wad of gum [...]
