I don't think that necessarily has anything to do with the marketplace, unless you want it to. That is, unless that's where your passion lies--in writing the next big breakout novel, and you study the market like crazy to find out what that is. To me, that's less creativity and more marketing. Good question, though, because it takes creativity to develop a marketable plot and that brings us back to your original question. Maybe the answer depends on the person or the project.
