I heard experts on the radio talking about the phenomena of massive prices paid at auction for artworks. It was suggested that if a much sought after artist wanted possesion of a chateau, they might do a drawing of it to sell, and buy the chateau with the proceeds.

If only that might work for a writer – a short story written and on the proceeds the jewel, or the country estate, the racehorse, even the Picasso is yours. Keep dreaming.
