How to Rant: A Workshop at the Microfiction Rowhouse. This was a writing workshop, focused on extemporaneous composition, using the familiar idea of a rant as a start. It was billed thusly. “Do you love to rant, but want to up your game? Are you clear on the difference between a rant and a complaint, or a jeremiad? Can you effectively run tangents while ranting? I will teach you this fun stuff and more.”
