  • 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.

A fine line between writing and living

27 Jan 2011

There’s something to be said for not writing. This. Coming from a writer. Shut-ins who function as writers may disagree with me, but I sense there’s a fine line between writing and living. I say this as I watch the home-schooled boy, who lives across the street from my house, ride his scooter around and [...]

Pregnancy Confession No. 3

20 Jan 2011

[I ran a triathlon pregnant.] I was one month pregnant. Yes, I had morning all-day sickness. In hindsight, I think mind-over-matter helped me finish the race. Actually, I think mind-over-matter helped me start it. Once I was into a groove, it didn’t matter that I was living off oyster crackers and carbonated water. Once I [...]

Pug brethren Down Under

16 Jan 2011

My latest obsession: wombats. I want one really bad. PK and I were poking around the Internet last week when we came upon this picture of a colossal wombat. We both agreed that it’s the funniest (and cutest) critter we’ve ever seen. Next to pugs of course. The more I thought about the wombat, the [...]

The reliability of a man’s intuition

08 Jan 2011

About two months ago Joe had a dream. He actually remembered his dream. (He never remembers dreams.) He dreamed that he met our baby, except our baby was older –– perhaps six or seven years old. She was a girl. He said she was beautiful. And that was that. From that moment on, it was [...]

The deli girl with the blunt tattoo

02 Jan 2011

The deli girl at the grocery store up the road from my house has a tattoo on her forearm that reads, “Sucka Free.” I once asked her about it when she was making me a veggie sub. I said, “What’s with the tat?” And she said, “I got so sicka takin’ shit from suckas, I [...]
