The Friends & Members of 750 Words

I have been on and off writing my “mourning” pages here on 750words. I’m now on a 39 day streak thanks to signing up for the September challenge. I am very proud of my success and can’t recommend 750words.com highly enough to anyone who is trying to get into the habit of writing .
One month of continuous writing was long enough to get me going. As of today I switched to longhand writing which I find even more rewarding and which is a direct result of writing every day.
Thanks Buster and Kelianne for this awesome site!

Writing everyday has been a wonderful experience so far. I feel bold enough to take on NaNoWriMo.

Thank you, 750words.

I would really appreciate if there was an app for this amazing website! I would be able to spend much more time writing and I would be able to type it in the app as soon as it popped into my head, instead of waiting until I have computer access.

750words has been my constant during four very topsy-turvy years. It has served as respite and beacon, and I am immensely grateful to have found it. Thank you, Buster and Kellianne.

In a very busy life this site is a great way to be able to get my thoughts down in a forum that only I can see and have some reference to go back and look at things later. I had no idea this site existed until I started on it in July and have been writing every day since. Thanks Buster and Kellianne for starting this site.

I would also like a better mobile site – wouldn’t use it for primary writing but occasionally could come in handy

The badges are addictive … and once you’re several months in and have surpassed 100,000 words there just aren’t that many!

Really can’t recommend this site and practice highly enough. I think the discipline of sitting down for 20 minutes every morning is a good grounding for the day, and I know I feel the psychological benefits. It’s also a help in remembering dreams which I would otherwise never record. Thank you 750 words!

Hi. I’ve just done september month’s challenge and written every day for a whole month. I expected to wake up to a “You did it” mail in my inbox. It would have been nice… :( Maybe an idea to make such a mail…? Alice. Ps. Got such a mail later this day! Sorry!

Many months back, I’ve tried 750words and have given up on multiple occasions. It took me almost an hour just to get to 750words.

But through this month of September, the more I push myself, the more I grew. The long term benefits far outweighs the short term benefits of this site. Don’t believe me? Stick to a habit to start of your day just by typing 750words every morning and see how it changes your live.

I saw someone else request this, but couldn’t find it in the list of things I could vote for. It would be great to have a streak freeze such as that implemented on Duolingo. It’s a one-day freeze that you buy ahead of time that stops a streak from breaking if you can’t get online due to unforeseen circumstances. You can only buy and store one at a time, so you still have to get online with some regularity. I like that breaks can be scheduled, but it’s nice to have an emergency measure, too.

Thank you for all your work on the site!

Do you have a 750words app? Can you post something about it?

5 cups

I don’t have a good feel for this other than I have come really close to breaking my 1100+ streak due to unforeseen circumstances like service outages due to weather, or sudden unplanned lack of access to the internet, etc. Since you can schedule time off ahead of time, it makes me wish for some kind of emergency back-up intervention. It is one thing if I break my own streak, it is something different if a tree landing on a power line somewhere does it for me.

Oh please, please, add some languages to text analysis!

Words are like bees in my head. But if I devote my time to write them, they start to fly slower and I can find out, what these bees are trying to say me.

Writing daily is critical for NaNoWriMo. I joined 750words.com to prepare for NaNoWriMo 2015. Yesterday I failed to log my entry for the day and lost my September challenge. A small donation is a small price to pay for the reminder that failing to write daily during NaNoWriMo can cost me much more. Thank you for the challenge to continue – I’ll beat you in October ;)

When I signed up for the August challenge, it was a personal test. I have such a habit of starting things and not finishing…I didn’t know if I could really commit to writing every day for a month. And then, I did it. And the satisfaction of seeing my name on the Wall of Awesomeness gave me a sense of accomplishment which was truly profound. Now, almost two months in, writing every day has become my therapy, spiritual practice, exercise and daily gift to myself. It’s my reminder that I can do what I say I will, a way to find out what I’m thinking, and prime my creative pump. Writing every day is a gift I give to myself. And I am grateful for it. Every day.

I’m already feeling tense about the fact that when i go on holiday I probably won’t have internet access so my writing streak will get messed up! Is it possible to find a way to continue using 750 words without wifi or internet?

I cannot tell you how much this site has changed my life. I never thought I could write anything, but I really want to start a new business to escape the drudgery of the 9 to 5 slog, so I realised I needed to track my ideas and content for my new (soon to be finished!) website. I had heard about 750 Words from an online course I was doing a few months back and I decided to give it a go. Just to start something, And I’m still writing 45 days on, and I want to keep going, keep growing, keep challenging myself to make that escape really soon. Thank you Kellianne and Buster, you have helped me on a new path towards a more productive, powerful existence, something that has meaning and value to me and to others, there’s no stopping me now.

Today is 1003 days since I join this community (yep, I’m an early adopter). I didn’t manage to write 750 words every single day during this time but this service really changes me a lot.
It’s a small thing every morning which helps me be even more productive than I am because I can flush my thoughts through the words and start my day with great energy.
Thanks for 750words, friends! Keep it up!

You can’t edit an entry after the day has passed.

That means you can’t add metadata to previous entries either.

It’s easy to forget to add the metadata you want.

I wish you could edit the metadata of your previous entries.

Even though I’m doing this from my phone, there’s always room for improvement. It’s smartphone friendly enough but there’s always room.

I am a SPACE SQUIRREL. One thousand days and one million words. THIS alone has boosted myself esteem. One hint, try the dictation mode in your word proccessor. Talking out ones word is so much more emotionally intense. It also is fast. 10 Minured can yield 750 words easily.

Actually I’d like to see an Android App, since I don’t have an iPhone or an iPad.

I have just passed 200 days and going strong. The daily writing gives me an opportunity to clean the brain where necessary and straighten my thoughts out for the day. I am also using it to plan a series of essays on various topics. It is a great way to start the day. My goal for the year is to reach 500, 000 words and I am on track to achieve this. This is an awesome place to be!

I’m back to write another note. I’ve been inconsistent since starting use of the site back in August of 2014. However, this year, and within the last month especially, I’ve dedicated myself to the habit. It’s paid off in more ways than I can imagine. I’m just a fledgling with only thirty-four days under my wing, but this site has kept me focused and given me something to strive for beyond that ever-intangible satisfaction factor. It feels great to look back and see all the words piled up in heaps behind you. It feels good to revisit them and get acquainted with your myriad past selves. The payoffs to this process are uncountable. Thank you for such a wonderful site.

Oh, and I’m only about seven or eight thousand away from the Nano badge. I’m snagging that bugger this month. I already got the 100k badge in September, so this one’s a bonus.

I always like something to strive for :) This really helps me figure out what I’m capable of!

I’d like to be able to work with paragraphs instead of line breaks which don’t register when I go back to read my words. It’s confusing while writing dialogue, and when I try to use any other sort of paragraph format (e.g. touching the space bar 5 times) it merely vanishes in a very unkind way.

I am forever indebted to 750 Words for giving me new inspiration and discipline in my writing. The value of regular and constant effort stood me in good stead when almost everything else in my world threatened to collapse.
The unintended bonus was that the site became a friend and a confidant who was willing to help me clear my head without complaint or gossip.
