The chapter traveled to Venice for the February meeting. The featured speaker, Mary Anna Evans, led a workshop about adding feeling to your writing, with exercises. In one, the writers visualized a place and created a list of descriptive words to capture its mood, then wrote haikus using those words. Powerful.
