  • 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.

Hindsight

30 Jun 2011

Note: This post was supposed to go up the day I gave birth to Henry. Due to an insanely fast labor I was unable to publish it. So here it is now, 25 days later. I’m sick of seeing it sit in my draft folder.   Two days before Mother’s Day, I received a package [...]

Rain, babies, coffee and sleep

27 Jun 2011

This is scattered and I’m OK with that. I know I’ve been lazy in the Lance department and I’m fine with that, as well. I’ve been figuring out this mommy thing. Letting it run over me like warm water. Letting it settle into my bones like old age. Letting it hit my synapses like a [...]

The King has entered the building.

17 Jun 2011

Surprise. Surprise. The King is here. Holy anticlimactic! I let 12 days go by after his birth without so much as posting a picture. Sorry. I’m easily distracted. I’ve had non-stop company and I’ve been nursing a newborn around the clock, which for a novice such as myself, requires both hands. So yes. I’ve neglected [...]

On waiting and wish sticks

01 Jun 2011

June 1. Today is supposed to be Henry’s birthday. I’m learning, however, that “supposed to” and babies don’t go hand-in-hand. Just like “supposed to” and life doesn’t go hand-in-hand. I’ve been on maternity leave for a week and half now. That’s a week and half of not having to meet deadlines. Except for this one: [...]
