You Make Your Own Luck

A fellow Romance Diva recently told the story of her first sale, which resulted from a series of events at an RWA Conference - not random events, not entirely. She had taken actions that led to those "random" events. The lesson I took away from her story was that it's better to make your own luck.What do I mean by that? I mean that not every path (in this case, to publication) is the same.
