RE: The Importance of Creativity in Economies
people might pull your work out of the dumpster and sell it for a lot of cash. (Perhaps not during your lifetime, lol)
During World War 1 .. a Canadian soldier, a surgeon, wrote and then threw away a poem. It was a poem composed after a gruelling round of treating the wounded.
Another soldier picked it up, looked at the words and sent it off to some publications. Captain McCrae didn't earn a lot but In Flanders Fields became one of the most famous poems of remembrance in the world.
It is interesting how that happens. I think most of Emily Dickinson's poems were not published during her lifetime. Van Gogh also comes to mind.
