  Here's how I see it: rules (or constraints) in art pull their weight
  in a few ways:

  It's easy to slip into writing like someone else, basically copying
  without even meaning to. But slap on a constraint, and it pushes you
  to carve out your own voice, since that's the only way to stay within
  the lines. That way, you're not just dodging derivative work, you're
  also sidestepping tired clichés altogether.

  Plus, when you pull off working within constraints, it gives readers a
  way to spot real skill. Like when folks stick to all the Usenet rules
  and turn out stellar posts while they're at it.

  And at the end of the day, constraints bring structure by drawing
  lines between different kinds of work, which helps people find their
  footing when there's just so much out there.
