The Friends & Members of 750 Words

It would be fun to have some new goals to work towards!

Thank you so much for changing the reminder email subject line to “Let’s write 750 words today.” It might sound silly, but that makes such a GIANT difference to me! Anxiety keeps me from writing, so I eschew the word “should,” but “let’s” makes it sound like a group effort—and that reminds me of NaNoWriMo, which enabled me to write novels because I felt like I was part of a community with support all around me. Thanks for being that community every day, every month, and (I hope) many more years!

The ability to roll over our badges, get one badge in return to show we’ve done so, and start over on that original set of badges. (Similar to Prestige in Call of Duty). Sure, you wrote without distractions for ten days in a row—but can you get that badge again?

Time and again, 750 words has helped me achieve and maintain the focus I need to write what I want. Thank you.

1 cup

(A lexicon count.) I would be interested to know how many different words I use when I write on 750words.com. Ulysses has 265,000 words total, and a lexicon of 30,030 different words—how do we all stack up?

1 cup

You all inspire me and I hope to be among you in May.

750 Words is always there and provides me with the opportunity to get some of the words out of my head in a non-aggressive way. The service is exactly what I need and I’m so glad to have found it.

Completing the One Month Challenge for six months in a row made me finally comprehend that I am indeed capable of making something that is good for me a habit and now I am slowly losing weight. How cool is that?

I dropped out of the April challenge a few days ago and haven’t written since. Haven’t quite figured out what was “wrong” with me… Adding this to next month’s bounty feels at least a bit like making amends…

I have been trying to write all my life and it’s always been a struggle. Your site has completely changed that. I log on and get my words done. You have taken away the stress. I am slowly but surely piecing together the book I have always wanted to write. I love your humor, the lightness, the ‘Welcome Back’ whenever I log back in…Thank you!! XO

Because of this site, I’ve written three novels, two scripts and just blathered on endlessly. It has been the one bit of discipline in my life and the on reliable source to go to. Thanks, Buster!

Thanks for your radness in creating such a facilatory (is that a word?) site! I’m grateful that you will allow existing members to be lifetime account holders. I look forward to supporting when I can and hope that more people start to use this fun and fruitful forum.

PEACE,

It would make me feel more at ease

I hereby award myself the Sheepish Raven badge for forgetting to finish my post on the 365th day, yes, the one-year mark. And so, back to egg…

Way to go!

Love this site and really appreciate the respect you have for early users. The site helps me clear my head or work through a particularly challenging knot in a story I’m working on. Thank you!

Thanks Buster & Kellianne for this amazing site. It is a favourite part of my routine and keeps me thinking and focussing and reflecting. So glad that the site will continue to be here to provide a nice, warm place for my words.
Thank you.

you are an amazing group of people. thank you for creating this website. i have long tried and been on and off with my morning pages, and a lot of it had to do with the tedium of writing longhand first thing in the morning, but 750words has really helped me to become more consistent. i’m always excited to start it, every day, and for that, i thank you. also, a note: i love the simplistic and minimal design of the site and i hope you always keep it that way. it is refreshing, and i love not being bombarded with images and animation and color when i sit down to write. thanks. :)

I came here seeking to be a better writer. To use it as practice to refine and not bother revising. To learn to trust what comes intuitively. And somewhere in there, the things that have come have been life changing. It has been the purest form of psychotherapy. I have unchained myself from demons I have carried all my life in my secret, unedited writings here. They can live outside of me now and I’m no longer weighted by them or tethered to them or defined by them or in pain because of them. It’s been an exorcism of emotional baggage of epic proportions. I came here to be a better writer but I’ve become a better person. Many thanks.

Heartfelt congratulations to you few, you happy few you band of brothers and sisters, who will have completed the May Challenge. It is an achievement well worth celebrating

I would like a way to connect with other writers on 750 words. Perhaps a simple hosted Forum would be a low key way to do it without turning this into a Facebook site?

A friend introduced me to 750 words, but then she decided not to use it. I don’t know anyone else here and the list of writers each day is too long to browse.

I feel greatly in touch with myself and energized on the mornings that I write. I feel grateful to the world (and to you!). But I want to share that feeling and maybe connect with others who feel the same.

I’d participate in a forum if there was one.

Thanks

I think it’d be neat to just be sitting down anywhere and get your feelings out. Not everybody has a laptop they take everywhere with them but almost everyone these days has a Smart Phone that they can use.

This site is so unique and I love how it’s all you and nobody can see it. It’s like a cute little digital diary to vent or just to recall a great day.

It’s really neat how the site also evaluates your writing and gives you a mood and a movie rating! That’s so original and it’s so fun to see what you’re rated each and every time.

1 cup

I think the idea of an app is fantastic. But, as an Android user, I would ask that an Android app be made as well. After all, Android devices outnumber iPhones, anyway.

1 cup

Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the sound of my own voice. I don’t want to write to feel competitive, I want to write when I need to, or I have that inner urge to journal my deepest thoughts or work out brain weasels with 750Words. I’d love to see the option of turning off scoring and points. Thank you.

This site is amazing.

That is all. Live long and prosper.

This site prompted me to write quickly and daily. It helped me to let go of some of the perfectionism that was holding me back and showed me what I could accomplish. I am sporadic in my writing, as in everything, and had backed off this site when I learned there would be a monthly charge. Somehow I couldn’t write as quickly and consistently. I logged back on and was happy to discover that I haven’t lost the use of it. Thank you so much.

Congratulations!
