Who is this weirdo?

Hi there! My name is Sarah. I'm a copywriter and content marketer living in Seattle. I started writing here because the internet told me it was The Thing To Do. My plan was to create helpful content about marketing, but I lost the script. Things got… silly.

If you wanna get in contact, here’s my website.

I tend to write exactly what I want to write here, which means a fair number of comedy pieces, but also some short stories and ponderings on creativity. I like the inexplicable, the mysterious and especially the absurd.

Here's some other stuff

I illustrate animals doing human stuff, and my work is on Instagram. I also have a Redbubble store. One of my most popular drawings is this image of an otter swimming in a bowl of ramen:

I’m on twitter. I have a newsletter with ponderings on creativity that I send out each month. It’s free and I’d never sell your info or do anything predatory, because the guilt would be too intense for me. This is probably the best way to stay up to date with my whole deal.

There’s also the dance thing. We probably don’t have space to get into the dance thing.

Mostly I adore telling stories. I'm addicted to language and figuring out how to make sentences flow and pop. I like how phrases and ideas can bounce around from brain to brain, gaining meaning and momentum. When life’s tricky, I find reassurance in knowing there’s a laugh nestled in every situation.

Here are a few of my favorite Medium pieces:

- I’m really proud of this short story, because it’s the first time I was successful in marrying my tendency toward the absurd with writing that’s more literary in nature.

- Pettiness in the face of overwhelming horror is one of my favorite vibes to write.

- I had a traumatic, clown-based experience when I was five and writing this post helped me take my power back.

- I keep trying to express one specific idea from different angles and this short story might be the closest I’ve gotten.

Yay! If you’ve followed me for a while, you probably knew all of this, but for anyone else who might stumble onto this profile and wonder what the heck is going on around here: Hiiiiiiiii. It’s a weird, but nice place.

Also, you won't find any AI-generated stuff here. I don't use it in my writing, unless I'm doing a weird bit, and if that's the case, then I'll explicitly tell you in the piece.

Thanks for reading. I appreciate you. 😊
