My collegiate career has come to an end.

May 22, 2024 / Jim McDonald / 2 Comments

I graduated on May 10, 2024 with a Bachelor’s Degree in English from the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) while assembling a 3.5 GPA. Along with four semesters on the Dean’s List.

Now I can do one of my favorite things – nothing. 🙂 Actually, I hope to step up my writing career and continue to publish more books – James Burd Brewster.

I want to thank my sister Debbie McDonald, friends Mike Meissner, his mom, John and Sue Herron for taking the time to share this very special day with me.

Update: back burner switch

Taken July 21, 2016, in a hat I bought for six dollars at a thrift store.

I started this blog site, From my Head to Yours, at the urging of several reasons; to learn how to allocate time to write on a daily basis, maybe get my name out there a little and to practice my new craft.

When I started it, I put my novel on the back burner. I have decided it’s time to get back to my soon to be best seller 😊 and put the blog on the back burner.

However, I’m still going to continue with my short stories, but not everyday. The postings will drop back to 2 or 3 a week. I thoroughly enjoy my interactions with everyone here and love writing. When I finish my prose I will return in earnest.

My novel is fashioned after my published short story Family Doctor.
