JULIE R. NEIDLINGER
Artist, writer, private pilot.​
Lone Prairie Art Works, now Lone Prairie Creative LLC, has been in existence since 1998. I am a writer, artist, and private pilot. My degree is in art and art history. ​Though I now live in Bismarck, North Dakota, I grew up on a farm not far from the Canadian border.
My family owns a Minuteman missile site, an odd fact most folks can't lay claim to. ​I love to play piano and violin, read, write, paint and draw, garden, ride horses, bake, hike, fly, and travel (especially road trips). I've had the opportunity to travel to Canada, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, Nicaragua, Australia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, several locations in the Caribbean, and throughout the United States. But North Dakota is always home. There's just something about the prairie that won't let go.

Having written online for nearly 30 years, there is a 100 percent chance I've offended someone at some point. When I read my old work, I offend myself. Granted, in an age of cancel culture, there is less leeway to find yourself in blogging honestly, and I am eternally grateful that working through my own ideas, writing styles, and opinions from my 20s, 30s, and early 40s was, for the most part, done in a very different cultural time. If you do desire to cancel me because of something I've written, please note that contacting Lone Prairie Creative to get me fired doesn't work, as I am Lone Prairie Creative. (Yes, this has happened before.)
I understand there is a desire today to destroy the lives of people who hold opinions we don't like. I mean, I understand that the desire exits; I don't understand the desire itself. Anyway, as a freelancer, I work at will; clients wax and wane with or without the impetus of cancel culture. Some clients no one will ever know I work for. God owns the cattle of a thousand hills. I will survive.
​
I would mostly encourage people to not expose themselves to things that create feelings they can't yet manage, noting that, historically, theologically, and literarily, revenge is best served cold after having dug two graves and pulled vengeance out of God's hands.
