The Good Patrons of 750 Words

5 cups

I started with 750words over 3 years ago. My writing streaks have come and gone. Over the last few months, I’ve done my writing first, before I do anything else. I have an old iBook G4, probably a decade old, that still boots up by some miracle. It can’t run Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, or any of the other sites I use for work or distraction. But it does run 750words.com. In fact, that’s about the only thing I can do on that computer. So, that’s what I’ve been doing, every day, for almost 160 days. By practicing this focused writing, every day, I’ve also found the time to do other things that are valuable but often get pushed to the wayside. One example: last month, I started meditating, just for 5 minutes, right before I start writing on 750words. There’s another daily habit that I’ve stuck with ever since. 750words has taught me that I can get up and get something done, and that has spread to other areas of my life. Plus, I can write like nobody’s business! When you practice writing every day, banging out an email or a proposal gets that much easier. No more writer’s block for me.Thanks, Buster and Kellianne, for creating this site and keeping it going and growing.
