One sees this with some frequency in art. Consider Haruki Murakami:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haruki_Murakami#Writing_career

"Murakami began to write fiction when he was 29.[19] "Before that", he said, "I didn't write anything. I was just one of those ordinary people. I was running a jazz club, and I didn't create anything at all."[20] He was inspired to write his first novel, Hear the Wind Sing (1979), while watching a baseball game."
