The Scissortail Creative Writing Festival

Scissortail Creative Writing Festival
I was able to attend four of the sessions at the Scissortail Creative Writing Festival. The first two were Thursday morning, April 2, in the Estep Center, from 9:30 to 10:45, and from 11:00 to 12:15. I really enjoyed all of the authors that I heard on Thursday, especially Dr. Yozzo. The third and fourth sessions that I witnessed were on Saturday. The first was at 8:30 in the North Lounge. All of the writers that spoke here were excellent. Dr. Hada opened with “Spare Parts”, and gave one of the best performances that I was able to observe; providing an inspirational example of Creative Writing at its best, created and composed with form, talent, and style. The second session that I attended on Saturday was in the Estep Center at 10:00. I was especially fond of Dr. Grasso’s “Unpacking”. All of the authors that I saw in the Scissortail Creative Writing Festival gave superior performances. I anticipate attending the festival again next year and feel very privileged that East Central University provides this experience.
