I&#8217;ve been obsessed. I told friends recently that I used to wonder how I could make a living by sitting around and doodling. While it of course takes a little more than that, it&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been feeling lately. I love finding something that comes naturally to me and running with it.<\/p>\n<p>This is a snapshot of a page that is under consideration for the first book:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lorigreenberg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/lg160818a1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4059\" src=\"http:\/\/lorigreenberg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/lg160818a1.jpg\" alt=\"lg160818a1\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lorigreenberg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/lg160818a1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/lorigreenberg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/lg160818a1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lorigreenberg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/lg160818a1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As I work out the steps on this adventure I wonder what people like. The photo shows a really detailed page. While I love it, I also know that people have told me I&#8217;m crazy for the detailed work in which I find comfort. I have a variety of complexities to choose from and am considering giving up the really detailed ones but, we&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m almost halfway done with the first book, and am planning two more, all three to be published in November, most likely towards the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>Are you a colorist? Do you love the adult coloring books? What are your preferences? I&#8217;ve started a facebook group, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/285230931834255\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lori Greenberg&#8217;s Coloring Connection<\/a>, to share colored designs of the free pages I give away each week for download, and to follow me in this process. Why not pop over and check it out. There is a free page from this past week and another will be posted tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a sneak peek at what I&#8217;ve been up to lately: creating coloring books for adults.
