Welcome to our 38th Road Trip Wednesday!
Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.
We'd love for you to participate! Just answer the prompt on your own blog and leave a link in the comments.
This Week's Topic:
Give us a link to the best blog post you've ever written!

Kate: Maybe not my best post ever, but it certainly got the most hits...
Kirsten: Well, that depends on what you mean by best...
Kaitlin: Evidently, the posts I like best are the ones where I get on my soapbox...
Michelle: I link to this entirely too much, but what can I say? I suck, I really, really suck...

This week's road trip song:
"Dark Star" by the Grateful DeadNext Week's Topic: Best book you read in July
I think this one is my favorite because I had the most fun writing it. http://writer-renegade.blogspot.com/2010/07/demons-of-summer.html
ReplyDeleteI made a post about my post. Haha

I don't know if it's my bestest (Hehe.), but people seem to like my character quiz for bad romances. :D

I've posted mine too. With bullets and everything! ;-)

ReplyDeleteNot necessarily the posts that got the most hits (though the John Green one did pretty well)
Looking forward to seeing everyone's lost wonders.

Oh man, I had a tough time choosing. I don't think any of my posts are ground-breaking but re-reading this one (http://sarahnfisk.blogspot.com/2009/12/christmas-story.html) made me tear up a bit.
ReplyDeleteI'm also really proud of this one (http://sarahnfisk.blogspot.com/2010/06/spots-and-all.html) because it's the first time I've publicly written about my disease. It also inspired one of my RL friends to talk to me about his Psoriasis, which he normally doesn't do.
This is still one of my faves. It got a lot of comments *and* hits, and Therese Walsh thanked me in an email for highlighting her work as a good example. (I *heart* her)
ReplyDeleteThe topic is about different ways to make a first page strong (all of it my own opinion, though), and then I posted some examples of what I thought were strong chapter or scene openings in my YA novel, SUMMER HOAX. (FYI: at the time I posted, the novel was "in progress", but it is now completely finished and on the query-go-round)
How Firm Is Your Handshake?
How about I share the correct link, eh? :-/

This one is the best one I've ever written I think. I haven't at this for very long.

ReplyDeleteHere's mine, (funny thing was, I was going to do a greatest hit thing next week but you beat me to the punch)

This is definitely my most popular post (so far, because my blog is still a newborn). Someone had retweeted it, and another mentioned it in their links of the week, which really pleased me. ;)

OH MY I think this will be hard, but I also think this one is my best (fingers crossed, I hope?!) :
ReplyDeletehttp://meeroar.blogspot.com/2010/07/manic-monday.html
I thought of another one too:

:P
I would post mine, but my fave post of mine is a too-long vlog of me talking about deadly undercooked chicken and being generally unfamily friendly.
ReplyDeleteThis one, because I wrote it specifically for my husband, and Janet Reid found it before he did:

Sorry it's a little late. I was away yesterday, and then I was pretty tired today. Here's what I think might be my best post... not exactly sure. It's more of a review actually.
ReplyDeletehttp://chaosoflcd14.wordpress.com/2009/12/03/doomwyte/
Rereading that, I see that my reviews used to have more energy. Oh my gosh I feel so old now, and I'm a teenager! >.< I'm not supposed to feel this way! :P
My best post ever was "Jack Sparrow's Writing Rules". It's my most ocmmented on post by 33%. (That's just 5 people, my blog is small :)
