  • 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.

To the burglar who stole my computer last night: Happy friggin Thanksgiving.

26 Nov 2009

This Thanksgiving I’m grateful for the the fact that I’m with my two sisters. I’m at my sister Heelya and her boyfriend Brian’s place in Conway, S.C., which is a darling house, despite what happened last night. The bed I’m lying in right now, tucked under layers of blankets next to PK, is so warm [...]

Fünf sachen

24 Nov 2009

I needed a non-writing related pick-me-up this morning. Here are the first five things (fünf sachen in German) that came to mind: Michelle Williams’ hair (photographed by Mario Testino for Vogue, October 2009). I used to bring photos of Sienna Miller to my stylist in St. Pete. I’m over her now and onto Michelle.  apc [...]

The band fits!

I must acquit.  For the back-story on Leilani’s headband see previous post. 

Keeping up with the Bardashians

20 Nov 2009

The alternate title for this post is the early bird finds the evidence. And it begins like this: I’ve been trying FOR A MONTH to run in the morning. Every morning I set my alarm for 7 a.m. and every morning I hit snooze for an hour. When I walk the pug in my pajamas, [...]

The object of ambition

14 Nov 2009

This picture is five years old. I am 22 years old here. Fresh out of journalism school and a new hire at The Osprey Observer, a newspaper that no longer exists. I look bitchy in this picture. Cold and sinister. Actually, I don’t look like myself at all. My hair hasn’t been this long in [...]

PK on jeans, Greek bread and carpet stains

08 Nov 2009

It’s been 11 months since I interviewed my surly sister PK, which is a unfortunate, because many things have happened in little PK’s life since December. One: she got a new job in St. Petersburg closer to me and Joe. Two: Last month she moved into a very tropical apartment complex with vaulted ceilings and granite [...]
