Pop star Madonna battled with writer's block as she created her five children's books.
The MATERIAL GIRL made her debut as a kid's novelist with THE CHILDREN'S ROSES in September 2003 and has just released her fifth tale, LOTSA DE CASHA.
Madonna admits she was relived to have six month gaps between books, because it gave her the time to overcome her creativity lapse.
She says, "It didn't come easily. I'm methodical, so I set aside time to sit at my computer - of course, in the time that the children are at school - for four hours every day, but nothing came out.
"My husband (Guy Ritchie) said, 'Write what you know about, and it will come, and then you edit out the bits you don't like.' And he was right - that worked."
