| − | * An extended version can be posted elsewhere (e.g. your own blog).
| |
| − | * Though the challenge starts on Wednesday there are no pressures to hit deadlines - writing runs for the full week. You don’t even have to publicize your involvement, if writing is the thing that spreads your toes.
| |
| − | * Given the 256-character post limit most people will use #WedC. The original #WednesdayChallenge tag was abbreviated in response to the inevitable observation that 14 superfluous characters of tag is silly.

| |
| − | | |
| − | On App.net, [[@nitinkhanna]] called for the first Wednesday Challenge{{ref|first}} and @duerig, creator of [[Patter]], suggested it be a weekly thing{{ref|first_suggestion}}. This conversation took place in the Writers Write room set up by @richardleis.{{ref|writers_room}}, who introduced the #hourofwriting{{ref|hour_of_writing}}, a similar challenge activity, during which people write at the same time for an hour non-stop.

| |
| − | * {{note|hour_of_writing}} #@richardleis: I got the idea for #hourofwriting from Jane Espenson (TV writer and producer). She often calls for one on Twitter. Hope your writing is going well! - app.net, April 2013.
| |
| − | * {{note|agreement}} #@thelma: @duerig That actually sounds great! If [[@bazbt3]] and [[@annatarkov]] concur, we can let everyone know? [[@nitinkhanna]] said he wanted to sit this week out. - app.net, October 2013
