My name is Julie R. Neidlinger. I am a writer, artist, and private pilot. My degree is in art and art history. I’ve had many different jobs, always having a foot in the freelance world.

My home base is loneprairie.net, my website since 1998. That’s where you can find out what my blog is really about, find additional content not on Substack, and visit my store, where I have books, downloads, stationery, and more available.

I’m a follower of Jesus Christ. I write in an observational style about faith, humor, North Dakota, rural life, writing, art, conservative topics, travels, and pretty much anything that seems interesting. You can find out more on my main website.

How A Subscription Works

You can subscribe to the Substack posts as a paid or free member. All posts eventually go behind a paywall, though most are initially free.

Regarding free trials…

I generally try to publish every Monday morning, though the schedule changes occasionally. Almost every post is emailed to you, though for free subscribers, some of those posts aren’t fully available without paid access. Only paid members are allowed to comment on posts and most notes, though there may be exceptions.

Paid readers get access to all content from all sections of my Substack account.

What You Can Expect To Read

Non-sequiturs.

Surprising lack of consistency in topics.

Hits, misses, and everything in between.

I’ve been blogging for a quarter of a century on a lot of different platforms and in a lot of different styles, but at this point in life, somewhat weary of the anger and reactionary activism style of writing, the Lone Prairie Blog generally tries a gentler approach towards observation, humor, and thoughtfulness, whether it’s through a funny real-life story or thoughts about a poem. (Most of the time. Sometimes, my inner curmudgeon comes out.)
