“Limitations are a positive force in my life. I need
them. When I am stuck, I often write within a form, to a deadline, or otherwise
set up fences around what I can do. Perhaps the imposition of rules spurs me to
break free. Writing a novel is always about establishing and then pushing
against parameters." —
American novelist and poet Louise
Erdrich, “Soapbox: The Columnists—WSJ. Asks Five Luminaries To Weigh in on
Single Topic; This Month: Limits,” WSJ., November 2017
