What you said about constraints hit perfectly for me, as a creator. It's something I've been trying to articulate for a while and you just did it in a big, encouraging way:

Don't tell me to think outside the box. I don't know what I'm doing outside the box. Give me a box -- the littler and the tighter the better -- and then I'll show you how the inside is bigger than the outside.

100%. I love a good box.

The best part of having a box is making the rules of the box. Take the box that life gives you and then make a smaller box that fits in it where you make up the rules. That's what writing is for me.
