On App.net, [[@nitinkhanna ]] called for the first Wednesday Challenge[1] {{ref|first}} and @duerig, creator of [[Patter]], suggested it be a weekly thing[2]{{ref|first_suggestion}}. This conversation took place in the Writers Write room set up by @richardleis.[3]{{ref|writers_room}}, who introduced the #hourofwriting[4]{{ref|hour_of_writing}}, a similar challenge activity, during which people write at the same time for an hour non-stop.

* {{note|first}} #WednesdayChallenge - @nitinkhanna: Write a short story in 256 characters involving the words "Pope","battle" and "moon".The wilder the better. :) - app.net, March 13 2013. * {{note|first_suggestion}} #@duerig: That was fun. We should do this every wednesday. - Writer's Write Patter archive, March 13 2013 * {{note|writers_room}} #@pamdavis: We also used to do #hourofwriting, which anyone could call for. That was started by the room owner @richardleis. - app.net, October 2013 recollection. * {{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
