Contraint

On Monday during class our group eventually reached the conclusion that constraints are more or less a constant in writing. No matter how a person is inspired to create they will always, no matter their antipathy for constraint, find themselves bound by rhetorical rules they did not create. Imposing original, i.e constructed by the author, offers an opportunity to transcend the traditional rules of writing. Really the goal becomes writing within the structure you want. Eventually you have to choose in which structure you would like to write and the inspiration felt is automatically bound by those rules. It's more fun to create your own rules than play by someone else's.
