Goodreads asked Tracy Manaster:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Tracy Manaster Humor is my go-to coping mechanism, so my current work in progress is evolving from a self-imposed challenge to make the things that I bump hard on or fear in my everyday life humorous, and therefore digestible. I've yet to tell my agent that I'm writing a *funny* book on depression, the many ways kids with special needs are treated inequitably, economic anxiety, and bomb threats--for young adults.

I'm about forty pages in and it's coming together quicker and better than anything I've previously written but still: I'm going to wait to tell her so I can see the look on her face.
