“Unlocking Genius: How Embracing Limitations Can Spark Unimaginable Creativity in Writing”
Perhaps the most dynamic constraint that writers encounter is in genre, for the constraints in this realm are many and varied. For example, let’s say you want to write a romance novel, but your love story has a tragic ending. Guess what? You’re not writing a romance. You’re writing a tragedy (you could also call it a drama or literary fiction, perhaps). You might want to write a book that will end up in the romance aisles at your local bookstore, but that tragic turn of events will relegate your book to the contemporary fiction aisle. You’re going to need to change the ending or accept that your story is not a romance. These are the constraints you must work within.
