The Good Patrons of 750 Words

1 cup

I’ve been using 750words.com for the last two years, and last month was my first time making it through a monthly challenge, despite numerous attempts to do so. My trick was simple: I followed the directions. Instead of using 750words to meet writing minimums, I used it for morning-time stream of consciousness. Not only was it a great way to keep a record of the past day and what was stirring in my mind, but it helped me clear and focus my thoughts for the rest of the day. It got me back into my writing habit and showed me what could come forward from my imaginative mind if I quit putting constraints on what should be written and instead wrote as quickly as possible. What a great site for promoting the act of writing!
