But the term is, after all, inaccurate. Items from Greg's wastebasket would be those which he has discarded as worthless. The ones we're discussing are those which he is still working on but has yet to publish. Almost at the opposite end of the creative cycle, in fact. Quite clearly none of us regard them as worthless-by-definition, or we wouldn't be pouncing on every scrap with cries of glee.
A new term is needed: Greg's Pending Tray? Greg's Notebook? Greg's To-Do-List? Greg's Drawing-Board? Greg's Library (with all that implies in terms of an L.M. filing system?)
