To gad is to go about in search of pleasure, or idle wandering and adventure. A person doing this can be said to be 'on the gad'. I have gadded on numerous occasions.
After writing it in all it's forms, I'm no longer sure I like the word gadabout and would rather you thought of me as the travelling writer.

Great word 'Gadabout' for stories ... but totally concur with your own description 'travelling writer' ... and you certainly travel - cheers Hilary
This is a funny word! I've never heard of being "on the gad" though; that's a new one to me. Hey, thanks for popping by my blog and leaving a congrats and a "whoop" via Mac's blogpost! I appreciate it. Best wishes for your traveling writing. :o)
Gadabout is one of my favorite words! I too am a gadabout.
You never stop, Patsy!
I do, Hilary. Hope to be off again towards the end of the month.
I think 'on the gad' is an old fashioned term, Carol. I have come across it, but not often and not recently.
Many of the best people are, Elizabeth.
I do go home sometimes, Rosemary!
