A Goodreads user asked Meredith Russo:

Just wanted to say I met you at ALA last year in Orlando & think you are fabulous. Thanks for sharing your talent & incredible personality with us. What is your biggest challenge/obstacle to overcome when writing?

Meredith Russo My mental illness. Mania was the only thing keeping me going for IIWYG, and now that that's gone and I *also* can't be medicated for ADHD any more, staying on task and meeting deadlines (I used to pride myself on never missing a deadline...) has become incredibly difficult. And I'm glad I made a good impression! Thank you so much for approaching me and being friendly -- that was a weird atmosphere, and I needed to be talking to people.
