I’ve found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.

Ellie and I face a common problem. We both have to come up with topics to write about. While neither of us could probably tell you exactly how we do it, it seems to be true, at least for me, that it has something to do with showing up.
