Something about the word count as you write or the stats about your writing, or the daily nudges…something about it just keeps me motivated! Thank you for getting this aspiring creative writer to actually start writing consistently

I think some unusual badges would be great – most time using the word “hedgehog” or “the” etc.

I lurve stats!

Let users set a word goal for the month. Show their progress on a graph, with their total so far falling above or below the progress line. Wouldn’t even have to be a big graph, just a thumbnail where they can see their dot above or below the line.

My words have been flowing lately and I’m so glad to have this resource. Thanks, 750 Words.

Give users a way to set word goals higher than 750. I noticed a similar feature was in place during November for the NaNoWriMo for people to hit their daily goals, and it got me thinking how a customizable word goal feature could be useful throughout the year. Also, more fonts and secure server would be great, too. Cheers!

Totally unplanned, I was one word short of 2,222 words on my 1,111th day of writing here. What fun! I recommend this site to so many people that sometimes I feel as though I’m wearing a sandwich sign with the URL painted on it. Thanks again and again for the site, Buster and Kellianne. It is the best. One question, though: Why is the one million words badge smaller in diameter than the others? It looks shy.

An Android app would be amazing.

Thank you for creating this site. It’s been so helpful as I’m a month into practicing the Artist’s Way and can’t handwrite the pages, due to neck/shoulder/back/arm pain. This has been a lifesaver. My practice is to type with my eyes closed so I’m not tempted to edit and it helps me free write more effectively. I love the stats page and it is really making me aware of different senses and where my orientation is – time/space/mood. Commitment is hard for me so hitting my 32-day streak feels really good. Thanks for making it easy. :)

not only that, but also updating them regularly and also how to find it.

font looks weird sometimes, in general difficult to use

750 words has become part of my daily existence – an unwinding and unravelling of thoughts, emotions and feelings and kind of giving life and expression to my inner self, as well as evaluating the day that has gone by. It’s also nice to look back at previous entries from a week ago, a month ago, a few months ago and see what I wrote then and really feel I have made some progress. So 750.com is a barometer for so many different areas in my life.

Having used 750words to write for over 1000 days, I can honestly say that my thoughts are clearer. Whether I’m writing about my day, things I’ve learned, or prose, I always enjoy the time I spend here. To me, 750words is more than just a space. It gives me an opportunity that I may otherwise not give myself to write on a daily basis. Thank you!

Just one month of 750 Words has revved me up! It has given me a chance to remember how great it feels to simply finish the small thing I can begin right now and to see evidence that somehow those small things that are finished can accumulate into the starts of big things I’ve been meaning to get to… It’s been more than 15 years since I joined an Artist’s Way group for the first time. It was a life-changer and I never saw it coming. Looking back through the exercises and journals I kept from that time I am shocked that every single thing I dreamed my life could be, happened! I had forgotten and have little recollection of even dreaming and wanting those things all those years ago. But as I look back now, I can see my life followed that map to the letter. At the time, just keeping my commitment to daily morning pages and artists dates seemed to overwhelm me. But I did it and I finished it and that finishing helped me begin everything that came next. 750 words popped up out of the blue 45 days ago. I am so grateful to have stumbled in.

I just found this terrific quote about the power of finishing things — the smallest things, by Julia Cameron from her blog… Am sure others have mentioned it here but I thought I would share it to inspire some of us and to thank Kellianne and Buster too.

“There must be some obscure law of physics that revs into action when artists finish something. And that something can be reorganizing the medicine cabinet, cleaning out the glove compartment, or folding and putting away the laundry.

The moment we finish something, we get a sort of celestial pat– sometimes even a shove– a small booster rocket of energy to be applied elsewhere.

When we want to grease the creative wheels, we do very well to muster a little elbow grease elsewhere. Mend the trousers. Hang the curtains. Sort a bookshelf. Finishing almost anything creates both order and an inner order: “Now, start something,” finishing something says." — Julia Cameron

I am loving doing my 750 words each day: thanks Kellianne and Buster for creating this great site!
I have a request: John Farmer has already suggested a specified date-range stats function, but I was wondering if we could have our total words typed since joining show on the Search & Export page? And a Wordle of our total words?

I’ve been running a writing workshop for going on four years on how to write a book in 30 days. I recommend 750Words to everyone who goes through this five-week workshop. I’m nearly at my first million words on 750Words and I could not be more pleased to be a lifetime member. A good number of the folks who’ve taken my workshop are members on this site. Wonderful place to get a writing rhythm. This site has an excellent vibe. I continue to recommend this to everyone. 113 days streak on my way to my first 1 year streak as well!

i love 750 words. In the beginning I had a few misses. Then while traveling I was sometimes unable to log on correctly. Now it is something I look forward to each morning. I dictate, post, then edit and correct. It is a great way to start the day, … with coffee of course.

I’m endorsing this request because I too would love to have an iPhone app that lets me type my entries easily while on the go.

I just finished my first month of writing 750 words everyday! At first I thought it was going to be hard because I was afraid I wouldn’t know what to write about…but turned out I had plenty to say! ;)

It gave me the feeling I was accomplishing something everyday, even on days I didn’t feel like doing anything. It motivated me to push myself.

I loved it so much that I signed up for next month’s challenge!

Go for it! You are capable of a lot, if you try!

I am going on vacation for ten days and would like to continue my writing. I am thinking about having a Bluetooth keyboard interface with my iPhone or iPad. Never done it before. Would be great if you had an app in place for situations like these. Thanks!

For the first time, I had to get out of bed in the middle of the night to write down the ideas and plans swirling in my head. Thanks for giving me a place to do it!

Since first hearing about 750 words years ago, this is my first really strong attempt to make it a part of my daily life and I have to say, 74 days into my streak, I’m very glad I made that choice. It’s been an overwhelmingly positive force for chronicling my life and thoughts, reflecting on my days, and channelling the good in my life so that I can accomplish more, feel more peace, and write more words. Thanks so much, 750 words for giving me this wonderful outlet! I’m looking forward to 100 days in a row!

After more than a year and a half I’m back to the daily writing as a new year’s resolution. We’ll see!!
