Randi-Lee Bowslaugh On The 5 Things You Need To Be A Successful Author or Writer

Thick Skin — not everyone is going to like what you write, and that is okay. You don’t need to please everyone with your writing, just you (or your audience if you want to make money).

Some writers and authors have a knack for using language that can really move people. Some writers and authors have been able to influence millions with their words alone. What does it take to become an effective and successful author or writer?

In this interview series, called “5 Things You Need To Be A Successful Author or Writer” we are talking to successful authors and writers who can share lessons from their experiences.

As part of this series, I had the pleasure of interviewing Randi-Lee Bowslaugh. Randi is a mental health advocate, author, and host of the Write or Die Show. She started writing at 14 years old as a coping strategy for her depression. Twenty years later she is now a mom, grandma, and thriving creative individual.
