I'm pulling my driveway.

We all know what that means.

It's time for another drive to work.

Okay, so today's topic, breaking the rules.

So one of the things about any creative endeavor, we'll use drive to work as a perfect example, is there's structure to it.

So, for example, every day I start, I have my, I'm pulling on my driveway, and I have my little end.

And then there's a structure to it. I'm driving to work. I have a single topic.

I often talk about how restrictions breed creativity, but restrictions are also important

to just the audience wants to understand what the thing is. You need that kind of rules and

such. But having rules, at some point, you're going to break your rules. I mean, magic, for example,

is a game that breaks its own rules. Magic's all about you can't do thing X until a card says

you can, and then all of a sudden you can. So the big question I get for people is, okay,

I want to make creative things or design magic cards or whatever. when is it okay to break the rules?

Why is breaking the rules okay at some time and not at others?

And one of the things I've discovered is, one of the things I tend to use my column for is to explain the rules.

So like I'll talk about, okay, here's how we design land cards, or here's how we design multi-color cards.

I'll explain something.

And then at some point I do something that violates the thing I explained is the rules.

And so, like I said, one of the big things is breaking rules for the city of breaking

rules is bad.

So today I'm going to talk about when you should break rules and when you shouldn't break

rules.
