Constraints are a tool of creation and innovation and successful disruptors embrace constraint as an ally, rather than battling limitation as an enemy. Nobody needs to be creative more than someone who plies their trade in the arts. Award-winning novelist, poet and playwright Orson Scott Card joins Whitney Johnson to discuss the writer’s craft, its constraints, and how those constraints can be a spur to greater creativity. Orson is a prolific writer, but most famous for Ender’s Game, sequel Speaker for the Dead—and the rest of the Enders series—both of which won Hugo and Nebula Awards and made Orson Scott Card the only author to ever win both in two consecutive years. From word counts to publisher demands to the desire and need to make a living from creative work, Whitney and Orson will peel back the myth about constraint’s power to derail us and expose the truth about how restrictions can be an innovative disruptor’s best friends.
