LIVE FAST, WRITE OFTEN.

Create constraints.

Written by Cole Schafer

Nick Drake recorded the album Pink Moon with just his voice and an acoustic guitar. Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez shot The Blair Witch Project on a camcorder with just a $60,000 budget (it saw a box office of $250 million). Henry Ford offered his Model T's in just one shade: black. Dr. Seuss wrote Green Eggs and Ham after his editor bet him he couldn't write a story using only 50 words. Constraints don't hinder creativity. They unleash it. Constraints narrow down the choices for the artist so they can focus entirely on creating great work.
