Not sure if this already exist on the site and I missed it but I wish there was a total word counter for all the content you’ve put into the site. This would be really cool to see how many “total” words you’ve dished out.

Thank you 750words, because of you I’ve developed the habit of daily writing. I’m currently on my 114th day of continuing to pound out my thoughts on your site, I’ve dropped all my other apps such as Day One in favor of you. For me the primary motivator was the badges and the monthly competitions, you just feel like you’re working towards something even if it’s 750 words a day. Thanks for creating such a cool site and I hope to continue to improve my writing skills with this site.

I like to have the comfort of security, and privacy. I would hate for this site to get hacked, and everybody’s written words become available online. I worry about privacy sometimes, when I am writing a journal which I really do not want to share with anyone :D

750 words was a great tool for me to clear my head and give me inspiration. I was so inspired I got back to programming and created my own version (http://www.my3pages.appspot.com) as a way to keep up my creativity through my programming. Thanks to the site!

I love this site so much. I love journaling and this has just filled that gap on a technological level so well! It helps clear my mind and get all of the gunk out on a page. If I’m having a hard time in life, I can rant forever on here about it and then later I’ll go back and look at those days where I ranted it, and it is immensely helpful to have it out in front of me, written, so that I can really look at my problems from an outside view. That, alone, is immeasurably helpful. This site is a blessing and a lovely fun program! Thank you for manifesting it into being. It’s truly brilliant!

Nothing has made me more determined to write everyday quite like 750Words. So glad I joined. I can’t wait till the next Nanowrimo.

Writing here every night is like getting out the vacuum cleaner, with attachments, and clearing the cobwebs out of the corners of the room. It’s very liberating knowing no one will read my writing, thus allowing me to really get at the heart of what’s going on in my life.

I was skeptical of 750 words at first. it seemed like just another way to get me to write that would end up falling by the wayside because it wasn’t useful enough or engaging enough. imagine my surprise when the opposite happened!

750words has been invaluable in calculating my actual output, keeping my words counted for me and keeping me accountable, even on those days when I just don’t feel like writing. I don’t always manage to write 750, but I DO manage at least 300 words every day now, and that is its own accomplishment.

I recently achieved my 1000 day streak, and surpassed 1.1 million words. It is something that I had no idea would happen when I started this. I have never been much for continuing writing when I have started in the past, but now it is a part of my morning and I can’t imagine not doing it. It helps me clear my head and start my day fresh. I have worked out problems, worked through frustrations, and celebrated victories on these pages. I am grateful for a place where I can come and do all of these things. I am most grateful for this site because it has helped me silence my inner critic, more often than not, and enabled me to write unfettered. That, I think, might be the greatest gift of all. Thanks Buster and Kellianne for all of your hard work and for keeping this wonderful site running for all of us. You are truly amazing.

as my friend Sam has told me that Francis Bacon said “reading maketh a full man, conference maketh a ready man and writing maketh an exact man” I have found that writing on a daily basis has helped me to better express my thoughts and give me a more clear idea of what transpired yesterday and what I hope to accomplish today. Also I learning to touch type so that I can write faster so that some day I can get the cheetah badge which won’t happen with my two finger hunt and pecking style of writing

I couldn’t tell you why, but for some reason the badges seem to help me discipline myself into writing everyday, writing faster, or trying to write at different times of the day. It would be nice to see new behavior badges and maybe a streak badge or two in between 30 and 100. Also, thanks for making this site awesome!

This is a wonderful website. I use it to plan, write fiction, and dangst about day-to-day life. Can’t think of anything more lovely. :)

I’m very recently separated after 11 years of marriage and I must say that 750 Words is essential to me right now. It’s such a good way to just let the words flow out of my brain without thinking about them too much. I just let myself feel, put my fingers on the keyboard and go. Some interesting speculations have come out of my writing here and I have nothing but appreciation for this site. Thank you!

I just finished my first one month challenge. Waiting for the interesting turquise horse to appear…

‘750 words’ is a silly place. And it is even more silly what great things it does for me. Having a silly reason to write every day makes me happier, smarter, more content with myself and what I do. And all that just because I get to have a daily conversation with myself.

Coming from Denmark and writing in danish I don’t get much interesting points out of my metadata and subconcious – but it would be interesting to analyze given all the stuff I tell my blank page after login.

A lot of wonderful sillyness. Thanks for that!

I’m due to finally get my phoenix badge the day before I turn 27. I can’t think of a better birthday present. I have found free writing theraputic since I was old enough to write in a diary and find a safe hiding place; 750 words has gently encouraged me to turn this occasional crisis therapy into a daily rite of self care. Instead of thinking of myself as a damaged, limping creature, I have risen from the ashes as a writer with a vast hinterland of experience to draw from.

Thank you for giving this feeling to me, 750Words! My world just had new colors added.

Tonight (4.43am) I dedicate my writing to the boy who brought me happiness but who last night we decided to no longer be a couple. 750 words is helping me through this freight train of emotions. I believe it will help me get out the other side of this a stronger person. Thank you for being there.

I write gibberish and nothingness each day and I’ve never felt better. Thank you!

I use this site as a personal meditation in the morning. I try and clear my mind to move on with the day. I have been scared to start writing stories again and I hope that if I keep finding peace through my personal writing, maybe I will be able to write more in the future. It is a slow process, but this site is patient with me.

Wow! I didn’t realise that I had been away so long! Anyway now I am back and intend to get back into the groove. First day was difficult! See how it goes.

750 words is helping me get over some deep-seated fears. I was even afraid to write a note of inspiration. I took a week off because I was afraid to face myself – but when I see that blank page, there abounds courage and determination, to let out the creative spirit I once befriended as a child. Thank you. Sure, quotes are cheesy (and lazy), but listen to George Eliot: “It’s never too late to be who you might have been.”

Tonight my entry at 750words is dedicated to my mom, who taught me that kindness is always the best choice.

A couple years ago I started writing at 750 Words. I wrote something most every day for a few months then faded away from my daily writing. Just tonight I noticed how much easier it is for me to write than it was when I started at 750 Words. That practice of daily writing finally paid off! So I’m back here again to reestablish the practice of daily writing!

I am in the beginning stages of writing my doctoral dissertation. I needed something that wasn’t out there for all the world to see, but that would motivate me and give me a sense of community with regards to my writing habit. 750 Words provides all of this and more. I look forward to writing, not just every morning when 750 Words sends me my daily writing reminder, but I find myself adding to what I’ve written throughout the day. And when writing gets tough, having the minimal goal of writing 750 words, regardless of how eloquent they are, really helps keep me on track. 750 Words has no doubt saved me from taking years to write my dissertation. Thanks!!
