Cintia
Cintia asked Colleen Oakes:

Hi, my name is Cintia and I'm from Argentina. Being a writer is what I want the most in this world, nothing makes me happier than writing, but I'm more and more frustrated with each passing day, because I've been blocked for 3 years. And it is not that I have an unfinished story. I have NOTHING AT ALL. A blank page in front of me, that only makes me sadder... Is there a way to overcome this? How do you handle it?

Colleen Oakes I hit my first episode of writer's block just this year when I was struggling to write the last Elly book. When I finally decided to walk away from it was when the writer's block cleared. If it's been three years, I would maybe try a new story in a new genre and see how you do. Best of luck!
