The Friends & Members of 750 Words

2 cups

I’ve used 750words off and on for several years, but after recently making a more dedicated effort to write here I just wanted to say thank you. Writing every day has helped me learn to trust and listen to my thoughts, and has given me an interesting insight into my own mental processes. Keep up the good work!

100,000 Words + some cups owed for failed monthly challenges. I have consistently come back to 750 words as place to just write, to let go and spend some time with my craft. Thank you

For the days when it’s hard to get started (or maybe you just don’t want to hear your mind drone on about the same thing you wrote about yesterday, yet you also don’t know what else to write about), google “400 writing topics.” An about.com article should show up. Shockingly, with 400 writing topics. It has helped me on the days when I feel like I’m just trudging through the mud.

a while ago my depression disorder took the best of me and i stopped writing completely. feeling like i didn’t worth anything my writing just became worse, and worse.
but then, about a year ago, i discovered his awesome site. 750 words has helped me get into the habit of writing every day, and writing more than just a few lines. (i was surprised at how long it took me to actually write some of my first full 750 words.)
i signed up for the first monthly challenge right away. i failed, but that was just a push i really needed to continue on. i signed up for ever other month from then on, hoping that once i could do it. and i did. it felt better than i thought it would. since then i try to sign up for every monthly challenge. i think it helps.
lately i’ve started writing a longer story i had in mind for months now. i’ve written down a few chapters, and i hope that by the end of the month, those few chapters will be ready for editing, and i’ll finally have something to show to the world.

tl;dr: 750 words has helped me write more often, and was also a place i sometimes dumped all my feelings into when i didn’t know what else to do. so thank you.

More frequent badges to see progres. Like instead of 100 days to ‘phoenix’ they could be given more frequently…just different colors like karate belts. Say a white phoenix, then a blue, and brown, until black…and then progressing on through different colors of the next level through ‘black’ pteyrodactyl.

Thank you for creating 750words Buster and Kellianne. I’ve been using your site daily to deepen a spiritual connection with God because the rewards of earning badges and the ‘punishment’ of breaking my streak keeps me motivated to journal every day. And the stats/tools that graphically display the contents of my subconsciousness are very insightful which means it’s an amazing way to track my ‘spiritual evolution’. Once again, thanks for making 750words so useful! ;)

Hi Everyone,

I came to know about this awesome website while going through a B School Application guide. The website is truly amazing and has helped identify my true nature and does give essential insights into my true nature and my daily concerns. The graphs that it shows after daily writing are really informative. I really wish that the owners will create something that will help a B School aspirant like me to write a good essay. Writing everyday has definitely improved my English too :)

Thank You

I was referred to this site by an Artist friend of mine. I have thought many times about writing, but have not done anything about it. Until now. And I love it. It feels like I am coming home to a very very familiar place. It feels like an exciting date night. I also am discovering aspects of myself that were obscured from my sight somehow. And, I love that I am not alone on this venture. That there are others out there finding their voice as well. How awesome is this.

Using this space as a journal feel safe and inviting. Just writing whats in my head has become almost a necessity and I love getting that email at the end of the day that says I wrote my 750 words.

Today is my 1005 day in my streak that I have maintained since I first started using this site. I have over a million words written here and I don’t know what I would do without 750words.com

I wish that the text analysis systems for “Enter your subconscious” could include other languages. I write in spanish and because of that, I don’t even look at that feature of 750Words. I would be really great to have all that information about my writing! Thank you!

This site has helped me straighten out the knots in my mind to the point where it’s contributed to me making some major, but positive, life changes. Thank you, words!

I love seeing the badges on my page, especially when I manage to get a new one. I would love to see more badges!

It gives me a safe, private way to write each day, to get my thoughts out, without worrying about anyone else in the family finding my notes, so I don’t have to worry about how it might look to someone else, so I stop editing before I start. (Also the tracking reminds me I’ve actually done something, even when I start to feel like maybe I haven’t. It’s lovely.)

1 cup

some basic formatting options (ie italics, lists, etc.)

2 cups

A field separate from the main writing field where you can enter tags to categorize the entry. You can later use these tags to search for specific past entries. Useful once you’ve racked up hundreds of days of writing.

750 Words prods me along every day! It’s helped me to prioritize my writing. And when I had a problem, Kellianne did a great job addressing it. I’m so grateful to Kellianne and Buster for starting 750 Words and maintaining it. Thank you!

I am closing in on my 365 days badge. This site has made a real difference in my life and in my sense of myself as a writer. Writing every day. . . a lifelong intention that only came about because of 750 Words. Thanks !

1 cup

It allows me to write about how my day went or write part of a story.

I think this has already been suggested but I think and android application would be useful…I am ashamed to say I have not checked to see if I can just download site and get it to work on my android yet. Its a great site, I think it has been helpful to me. I am a cheap skate so I am wishing I had found it prior to June 2013 then I could be a patron when I felt like it…Thank you.

I just find I do 90% of my 750-Wordsing on my ipad, it’d be great to have a better mobile site or a dedicated app!!

Here’s a vote for this improvement. I’ve been finding the badges to be good motivators. They’re fun.

1 cup

ALL the badges

1 cup

Seriously. Badges.

I would love if I could look at my badges and see when I’d repeatedly accomplished something. Specifically, I wish that the Turquoise Horse would have dates showing how many times I’ve completed a monthly challenge. Even if it’s as simple as just extra dates below the initial, that would really motivate me.

android would be great

Phew. Sometimes, this site sounds like a daunting idea but honestly, it’s fantastic for helping you come up with new ideas for writing, even if you have to dig through the deepest parts of your mind for it. It can really help you vary your writing too, since you can only have so many ideas in one style. And plus, it’s a great place to vent or ramble if there’s nowhere else.

Keeps me writing, much more than other things. Helps me keep my mind clear. Great forum, much appreciated.
