I kind of imagine the spirit guide in my fantasy novel to look something like this woman–of course she only arrives in dreams. They did something like that on Northern Exposure years ago where the Indian guy dreamed up a spirit guide, but then I think the guide bled over into his waking life. Invisible to everyone else. What was that character’s name? Ed. Ed Chigliak. In my novel, the spirit guides only show up in lucid dreams.
So I have done some work every day for a while now, but I think I’ll post some past writing now and then since it takes away the drive to work on a present project when you share much about it, especially the writing itself.
I have some chicken ready to go in here and maybe a nice walk with the dog. I did do my full body exercise thing. Still struggling with mid and upper back pain. My mother was in terrible pain when she was my age right before she died — same area in her back. She went to Mayo Clinic and they could find nothing wrong with her–so I may be wrong, but I am assuming right now that it may be hereditary. My back will often kick up and then settle, so will give it a while. Get some vitamin D soon.
Happy Tuesday.

I love words so I write them. I’ve been doing that since I was old enough to read. I am a published literary writer and I was an adjunct English professor at Northern Michigan University for many years. I write and live and love off the grid on 35 acres and a trout stream in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with my son, Joshua, who has Down Syndrome, and with an English Shepherd dog named Maggie, and with my husband when he can make it here which isn’t often. This blog started out being about my work, and it will continue to be. ( I’m working on a novel about premonitions and dreams.) But this blog is also about living off the grid and about my experimentation with diet—most recently the Carnivore Diet. I started on the Ketogenic diet, but have moved into Carnivore. How long, I don’t know. But I’ve become interest in the effects of diet on not just my health, but on creativity. And I’m interested in the effects of the diet on my dreams.
Ah, dreams... The day before my son was born, my mother “dreamed” or was told my son would have Down Syndrome, something she told my brother ahead of time. I’ve never known what to make of that. So I’m interested in prophetic dreams, lucid dreaming, creativity and dreams, night terrors. Who isn't interested in that? I’m interested in Freud (more Jung) and Einstein’s theories of time and how their ideas inform my dreams. I’m interested in mining a deeper relationship with a dream world not confined to daytime experiences, and how the night might inform a more fully imagined daytime “reality.” And vice-versa. Which is the dream?? I’m exploring dreams of all sorts. Come explore with me…
