Welcome to our 87th Road Trip Wednesday!
Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, 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 - or, if you prefer, you can include your answer in the comments.
This Week's Topic:
What's the biggest writing / querying / publishing mistake you've made?
Road Trip Song of the Week:
"My Favorite Mistake" - Sheryl Crow














FIRST!

Here's mine. I haven't had any really awful ones, but even the small things end up feeling like a chopstick in the eye.

Oops is right. I've made some pretty big mistakes myself.
