420. Twitter’s #BePositiveHour: Revisited
At times, something quite up to date and as recent as Twitter, can have its moments of history. One of these moments undoubtedly is the phenomenon known as #BePositiveHour which has been going strong for over a year now. In view of this anniversary I thought it would be interesting to go back to its origins and those involved in its establishment.
Basically it started off quite simply, just two ladies chatting on how to bring a little bit of brightness, a pick-me-up... a bit of positive in this our often drudged and arduous life. One of these ladies is Nancy Scanlon, a Romance Writer http://nancyscanlonbooks.com/ and the other: Terrie Wolf, a Literary Agent at AKA Literary. AKALiteraryllc.com
And now for the first tweet ever to make #BePositiveHour History!
@skmayh Did you notice, we've elected the 3 - 4 pm (every time zone)
every day as #BePositiveHour
Thanks to @NancyScanlon1
for the idea!

the word. Happy Wednesday - and happy#BePositiveHour!

Rachel Russell @rachelxrussell @AKA_Terrie Is
the hashtag BePositive or BePositiveHour? I'm confuzzled!
Ooh, it's 3:00.
Which means it's #bepositivehour.
Which means I should probably have some chocolate and diet Coke.
RT @AKA_Terrie: So many
thoughts for #BePositiveHour from @AKA_Lit's @CarrieFiletti.

@lizlincolnwritr I

@lizlincolnwritr Do
you like Nora Roberts?
And so a year later this came up...

#Bepositivehour started because @AKA_Terrie was talking to Romance Writer @NancyScanlon1 the need for a few minutes of positive.
Terrie Wolf @AKA_Terrie · Jun 25 2014
And, @EvaUlian, I remember chatting with others in addition to @NancyScanlon1.
There was @sharonkmayhew @patesden @Pete_Catalano - so many!
