Write a single-post short story in response to a theme chosen weekly (posted with the #WedC tag.) == How it works ==
=== How Write a 1-post entry based around the week’s theme, chosen each Wednesday. Post it works ===, remembering to include either the tag [https://pnut.io/tags/WedC #WedC] (preferred) or [https://pnut.io/tags/WednesdayChallenge #WednesdayChallenge] if your muse isn’t being helpful and you need to fill space!
# Write a 1 post entry based around the week’s theme, chosen each Wednesday.# Post it, remembering === More answers to include either the hashtag [https://pnut.io/tags/WedC #WedC] (preferred) or [https://pnut.io/tags/WednesdayChallenge #WednesdayChallenge] if your muse isn’t being helpful and you need to fill space!questions ===
=== How it started: ===* 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[1] and @duerig, creator of Patter, suggested it be a weekly thing[2]. This conversation took place in the Writers Write room set up by @richardleis.[3], who introduced the #hourofwriting[4], a similar challenge activity, during which people write at the same time for an hour non-stop.== History ==

* {{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}} #[[@pamela|@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
