I don't think these are mutually exclusive, having a general sense of direction and a set of rules you have to follow can be just as good for the "writer" types as for anyone esle, although I do agree with you that some people might feel it too strict if there were too many of these rulesets. I don't think having a few guidelines like what [@Traps] posted previously would hurt creativity, it would just narrow it down so it sticks to the logic of the world.

Those are my thoughts on this currently anyway.
