Mobile 750 Words?? OH yeah!

750 words is my therapist. I’ve hashed out a lot of internal coat-hanger tangles just by coming here and throwing up on the screen. It’s low-distraction, high-reward writing because the pressure is off. It’s just me and the page. No deadlines, no required topics, and no boundaries.

I just love it, and am so grateful for Buster and Kellianne. I donate as often as I can.

I didn’t have time this afternoon to get home between two meetings to write my Words, but I knew that I wanted to get them in because I have another meeting tonight. I also didn’t have any portable device with me. Solution? I popped into a local library and I am keying this in on one of their public computers. How fabulous is it that this site is available in so many different ways. Their keyboard is slower than mine, but it’s free and it works. Bravo 750 Words and the public library system in this country!

I am a writer—at least, I keep telling myself I am—but what I mostly am is an editor. I can say with no false modesty that I’m actually a pretty good editor. Unfortunately, it’s a hard thing to turn off when I’m writing. 750Words is helping me learn to do that. I appreciate the many ease-of-use features you’ve implemented: the word count popup, the linguistic analysis, the statistics. That makes it sound like I’m still obsessing like an editor, but actually having everything at my fingertips helps me relax. I don’t have to hand-count anything, don’t have to reinvent the wheel, don’t have to reread and criticize myself. I can just settle into the writing process. Thanks for that.

Whether or not I can manage every day, whether or not I do pen-and-paper days that don’t give me badges, 750 Words reminds me every day to use my voice and that is invaluable.

What with all these changes I can’t actually see if I am a subscriber or a patron or how many paid months I have left, but I’m assuming Kellianne & co. are working on an interface for that as I type this.

Thank you for all you do. I think grandfathering in current subscribers with free accounts was a fantastic idea—I’m sure it made things more difficult on your end but you felt strongly that it was the right thing to do, so you did it, and that’s just awesome.

Privacy and reliable backups!

I appreciate the honesty that I face each time I have let time slip by without writing on 750. I look at the empty boxes and will myself to get back on the horse and gallop the rest of the month. I am grateful to be reminded that now is always a good time to get back to writing. After all, I can’t call myself a writer if a day goes by without words.

This is actually a go-and-ahead-and-pay-my-debt note, since I managed to fail this particular monthly challenge on the second day of the month. Yes, there were extenuating circumstances, but the debt needs to be paid. But I find 750 Words so helpful as a means of clearing my brain that I’m going to try to get through the rest of May with no more stumbles. Thanks for the badges and incentives, 750 Words: they keep me motivated to write!

It’s a sanctuary. Let all of the pain and the gratitude just spill out of my fingers onto the keyboard into this pot. How it helps!

I’m so happy to have this site to return to. There is something about the formality of the format that is engaging. Something about the result being put out in the world even if it is only for me to read that is very different than my writing and saving something in Word. I like it. That is me today with this site. Thanks for continuing to make it happen. Proud to be a patron.

I actually got a job thanks to 750 words. I was able to tell my potential boss honestly that I’d written at least 750 words every day for more than a year. It helped. Sadly, now that I’m writing daily in my job, my writing on 750 words has dropped off. I hope to get back to it soon. Thanks, Buster. You helped me a LOT with this site.

I write at the end of the day. I look forward to being able to say exactly what I think, to make sense or nonsense, to babble, to repeat myself, to struggle, to soar, to save myself here and now.

Unlike some blogging/journaling sites, the atmosphere of 750w has allowed me to be raw, honest, and most importantly: unedited. There’s no pressure to be polished, and I’m not bogged down and obsessive over formatting and flow. I now just write, “brain dump” as I sometimes call them, and worry about sculpting later.

It’s a long stretch between some of these badges (though I’m really looking forward to my phoenix!). It would also be super-cool if we could choose which badge to display with our profile.

Good luck to everyone in the challenge! I’m going to be participating as well, and hoping to win a bunch of cups at the end! Carry on!

I have been using 750 words for 5 days now. It is really awesome, and I am looking forward to developing my skills as a writer. I am hoping to earn the 500 day badge, and the 250,000 words badge. Lofty goals! Thanks for building such a great website.

I just finished my first full year on 750 words. It has been life changing and I am so grateful I found this site! I missed 6 days of writing this year and plan a perfect record during my 2nd year. Thanks so much.

I dropped out of the April challenge and I promised to donate some extra money to 750words if I do so, so that’s what I’m doing and adding this to the June challenge bounty

Three days into my one month challenge, I am already remembering how great it feels to write daily. Thanks to the site, I’ve started to renew my favorite creative outlet and it feels damn good! :D Looking forward to completing this month while racking up all the silly bird rewards all the while.

I am glad to be back after a long hiatus!
Thank you!

Hello 750 words!! I just wanted to post something here saying how glad I am that I joined this page and how it really helps my writing. These monthly challenges finally give me the motivation I needed to write each and every day.

I’ve been a member of 750 Words for nearly a week now and it has inspired me to get to it, or perhaps more appropriately, got back to it. I’ve written my 750+ words each day and will continue to do so. After my 750 here I’ve gotten back to an unfinished piece I hope to finish. This site has energized me and given me a group of people with whom I can share successes and I assume will encourage me on days when that is needed as well.

I’ve been away from 750 words for a couple of months. Glad to be back. Thanks for keeping this site alive.
