Life is riddled with stories each of us could tell.
As someone who’s gained so much from reading other’s pieces and exploring the depths of willing minds, opened up for the world to consume, I love offering my stories to the plethora of options available. And I appreciate when someone chooses my words from the masses to journey along with.
I write about general neurodivergence, identity, love, humanity, relationships, living in Seattle, chronic illness, disability, parenthood complicated by all of the above, and much more.
My blog-style messages, musings, and personal essays are right for you if you love to read intimate stories, you enjoy learning new (and even unlearning) things, and like observing life through a different lens.
”Don’t forget—no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories you have to tell.”—Charles de Lint
Who am I?
I’m Sara Eatherton-Goff. A writer, visual artist, vocalist, mom-person, and tinkerer. I live and work in Seattle, Washington with my three kids and spouse.

What I’m doing, and what else I offer (right now):
Presently I'm working on a collection of short stories while pitching some standalone brief fiction and essays to online and print publications.
If you’re an entrepreneur or online creator, check out The Content Strategy planner on Amazon. One reviewer called it a “little paper coach in your work bag.” Another stated that it’s way underpriced for what you get.
