If you're a good artist and have a great idea, then it will take off. I create swear word coloring books and they make me a good amount of money, and I was just on the #1 New Release list for the last week. <br /><br />I'm also a fiction writer, so this creative "stuff" is so juice for me.<br /><br />Love your contribution to the Adult Coloring Community, Joe! :)Brandon Ellis, LMT #12645<br>https://www.blogger.com/profile/14447523398083148827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291165.post-67049221079841538102016-06-20T11:00:10.737-05:002016-06-20T11:00:10.737-05:00So funny.

Using the "Look Inside" I saw for my first time ever three ebooks with: 1] No spelling errors; 2] No grammar errors; 3] No dangling participles; and 4] So much perfection by one author...in so little time.<br />However, the plots run a little thin, almost 1-dimensional, but actually 2-dimensional, sadly lacking any colorful character development, yet leaving the reader plenty of room for their imagination to improve them. Every story teller's goal, right? Such brilliance, as always, Joe.

But after getting about 2/3 of the way through, the two-dimensional characterizations just got to me. I tried to tell myself that successful protagonists don't always display a shift in development (I'm looking at YOU, Jack Reacher), but Konrath didn't provide any arc whatsoever in Triangles. Where was the editor? Not enough to get me to read the next in series.
