Abstract:

This chapter explores how experimenting with self-imposed constraint can paradoxically free the creative writer. Drawing inspiration from experimental authors of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the philosophy of constraint that underpins this approach to writing is explained and explored, and sample experiments/constraints serve to illustrate the process in a replicable, adaptable way.
