Short journal · Original editorial · Originality through constraints
A plot depends on moving to a new setting whenever it slows.
A constraint can make a choice visible. Limit one feature while leaving others open, then inspect what the limit made possible and what it blocked. Keep the experiment reversible; the constraint is a tool for this attempt, not a law.
Keep the scene in one room and let a choice change it.
Do not confuse a tidy description with a useful result. Look at what the next reader or participant can actually do.
