Young Writer’s Day 2019 On Wednesday, November 6th, 2019, Central Methodist University’s English Department hosted its seventh annual Young Writer’s Day. Students from Jamestown, Smithton, Boonville, and Fayette were invited to participate in a day of creative activities. Students were placed into groups, and each group participated in different sessions. Students were introduced to material from different genres. The rest of the time was theirs to create a work in that genre. Then, they were allowed to submit any work of theirs after they had left. The best works from these students are featured in this year’s edition of Inscape. Sigma Tau Delta was instrumental in the success of the seventh Young Writer’s Day. Members helped with every aspect of the event. Sigma Tau Delta strives to “provide, through its local chapters, cultural stimulation on college campuses, and promote interests in literature and the English language in surrounding communities;” as well as to “foster all aspects of the discipline of English, including literature, language, and writing.” The English department and Sigma Tau Delta are proud to present the work submitted from this year’s Young Writer’s Day: Poetry: 1st place: Marlborough Street Boston by Marina Firman 2nd place: Her Last Dance by Anna Scheperle 3rd place: Dawn by Kaitlin Furneaux Short Fiction: 1st place: Don’t Go by Danielle Spencer 2nd place: Light in the Dark by Dezmynd Johnson 3rd place: The Imperfect Storm by Logan Thies Ryan Woldruff, PhD Assistant Professor of English Director of Writing Center Central Methodist University
