One of the joys I've discovered through self-publishing on Amazon is navigating my way through the hundreds of book subcategorizations on offer. Shoppers can drill down into subcategory after subcategory to find exactly what they don't really need.

This granularity can be quite helpful. For example, one of the most accurate subcategories The Worst Coloring Book was assigned to was:

Books > Humor & Entertainment > Coloring Books for Grown-ups

That makes sense, right? To be fair, I barely qualify as a "grown-up". But, according to all the "how to write your novel" blog posts I've hastily read by all the "experts", writing what you don't know is a great way to discover "hidden truths" and "connect with your creativity." Sorry about all the quotations. "Sorry."

While I don't know if writing what I don't know has any real value, I do know something far less important. There are a number of imaginary Amazon subcategories that are more relevant to The Worst Coloring Book than the actual subcategories it has been assigned to.

Cookbooks, Food & Wine > Special Diet > Nutrition & Dysentery

Sports & Outdoors > Field Guides > Birds > Judgmental Sparrows

Literature & Fiction > Erotica > Business & Professional

Business & Money > Job Hunting & Careers > Recovering from Complete Failure

Home Improvement & Design > How-to > Plumbing > Sad Toilets

Medical Books > Spiritual Surgery > Moral Boils (Unlanced)

"Sorry."
