“Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: hard work – and realizing what opportunity is and what isn’t.”
― Lucille Ball

I love this quote. I find that the more risks that I take in writing, the more chances that I have in getting closer to my goal of getting published.
Taking classes, entering contests and just plain writing helps me grow as a writer. I find my luck decreases when I stop writing and stop learning.
