* 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. === How it started =History ==
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.
