Cintia
Cintia asked Lucinda Riley:

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?

Lucinda Riley Hi Cintia,
I'm sorry for the delay in my response and thank you for your message.
With regards to your question, I have been very lucky and not experienced 'writers block'. It's always a location, building or monument that gives me that first bit of inspiration to start writing. And I never know much about how the story will go and end. I let the characters dictate what happens next.
The one thing you mustn't do is give up. And don't throw anything you write away! I hope that helps and good luck with your writing.
