My Backstory!

    Hi!      

     I began Sadie's Gathering for a few reasons.  First, I wanted to get back into the habit of writing everyday.  

     Once upon a time, I graduated from college with a degree in  journalism, and a dream of being a famous copywriter.  I imagined after a few years of copywriting, I'd write an Oscar winning screenplay, then finish my career, with a Great American Novel!   Then, my plan was while enjoying a lofty "retirement" of gallivanting around the globe with my family; I thought I'd pen a few children's classics, and possibly a memoir.    

     Now, depending on how juicy my life is; I still hope to lead up to that point.       

     Since I hope to be published on many things; yet since we all each have 24 hrs/day; and have bills to pay; that's why I strongly suggest you pay $ over there on the DONATE tab --->>>

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
   
      Well, as the saying goes, "Life is what happens when you're making other plans."  Long story short;  I never worked in advertising; I've worked in restaurants & a grocery store.  I have a wonderful family; have traveled quite a bit; and I write as often as I can, and do a little drawing as well. 

     So, we shall see what's the next step, in my journey.  

     With Sadie's Gathering, I try to create a site, for many people, from many walks of life, to come and see.... What's up... 

     Reminiscent of a time, when we had time to sit down and chat... with those we care about and enjoyed shooting the breeze with.  Maybe with coffee, lemonade, or maybe even, with a couple of adult beverages.  So pull up a chair, and come sit for a spell😉

     I'm a sap; I weep at corny commercials, kid's shows, and the like.  I tend to think, thus talk and write about a lot of  very different things; usually in the same time frame.  Some may think it's lack of focus.  I think it's because I am interested in a lot of things, and like to share.  

     So, keep up Buttercup! 

     Originally, I did not envision Sadie's Gathering to be overly... any thing... now you know,  I am a liberal on most issues, although I make conservative choices for myself at times.  I find that I don't define "liberal" and "conservative" the way some other humans do.  Oh vell... c'est la vie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

     Let me note here, all the photos you see on Sadie's Gathering are mine, unless otherwise noted.

     If there is not a new post, you can check out pages, such as "RECIPES", "GOOD READS" "WORDS OF WISDOM" and "PET PEEVES".  Occasionally I add to those.

     Update: As of now, August 2025, I'm still working on a novel, a kids' book, developing story lines for a few other works.  And a screenplay! 

     Please know, The Sadie Project, continues, I would love to hear from YOU.  Please email me at sadiesgathering@gmail, with THE SADIE PROJECT, in the subject line.
