The Good Patrons of 750 Words

3 cups

I discovered during National Novel Writing month that if I wrote my words for the day and then used my 750 words to brainstorm, I never had dry spells where I couldn’t think of anything to write. I’ve used 750 ever since to brainstorm for my writing (as well as to complain about my day and generally rant). I don’t do “morning pages,” more like “winding down the day” pages.

I’d also like to thank Kellianne for fixing my streak when I was so busy finishing a story (yes, I was writing) that I forgot to log into 750 until after my deadline. I kept going—after all, why stop doing something that has been so very useful to me?—but was sad to have lost a 400+ day streak. Thanks, Buster and Kellianne, for making this available to us all.
