I especially liked the part where you said luck is opportunity meeting preparation. Since I didn't go to LTUE because I am preparing for a pitch opportunity this coming weekend, your observation made me feel better about my decision. And I'm going to make my own luck through this opportunity by preparing the best I can!! Thanks for you thoughts and I hope you post more about the conference for those like me that couldn't attend.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16328973674012805812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285879888452949022.post-59268272271847531592011-02-22T08:22:01.870-08:002011-02-22T08:22:01.870-08:00Hmmm, I may need help with putting myself in the r...Hmmm, I may need help with putting myself in the right place.

I'd love to go to one, you know. <br /><br />Living so far away from you guys makes it practically impossible. But someday! LOL.<br /><br />Oh and if you ever come to Chile, you know where to go, right? I'd also love to meet another Wolf Pack member! :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482654021641010175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285879888452949022.post-22046078247070839612011-02-21T15:28:46.963-08:002011-02-21T15:28:46.963-08:00I wish I could have gone.

I want to meet some of my virtual writing friends, since I don't have many "real" ones! :) I'm glad you had a good time!Chantele Sedgwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920913211842919013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285879888452949022.post-64523267759847772452011-02-21T15:20:06.488-08:002011-02-21T15:20:06.488-08:00Jenilyn, it was so fun to meet you too.

I know, it is fun to see the different things everyone takes away from a conference.<br /><br />Candi, I'll try harder next time. :) I thought about a series of inside jokes, but then I thought that would be more obnoxious than unhelpful. <br /><br />Angie, it was so good to see you, too. And may I say, you are an excellent hugger. :)<br /><br />Lois, I'm sad you weren't there too. One day we will meet. :) I've always loved that definition of luck. It says that we have some control over what happens to us. <br /><br />Jenn, I completely agree with your addition to number 3 and I like your alternative suggestion. :) Miss you too.<br /><br />Larissa, yes, you do want some. It's awesome. I got purple, but she was giving away blue as well. So cool.<br /><br />Linda, I've always wanted to see D.C. so I will totally take you up on that opportunity and let you know when I'm visiting. I would love to meet you. :)Kasie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169629001145903361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285879888452949022.post-14542394461702354182011-02-21T14:39:34.948-08:002011-02-21T14:39:34.948-08:00The opportunity to network with other writers is i...The opportunity to network with other writers is invaluable, not to mention just plain fun.
