You can’t have too much of a good thing :-)

Well, I understand why changes have to be made to the site, but I don’t think it’s something I will be able to continue to do once it goes pay for service. As much as I love the badges and stats, I can’t justify paying for something I can do on my own for free. Best of luck to everyone involved in it – thank you so much for a great tool for me to get back to writing!

I’ve only been on 750 words for a month, and already I’ve written over 30,000 words. I could never have imagined writing this much just for fun until I experienced this site. Thank you so much, Buster! I don’t want to write 750 words in this testimonial, but if you want to read more of what I think of this site, check out my blog post about it… it’s only 721 words: http://ppppizzazz.blogspot.com/2013/01/750-words-every-day.html

Howdy, folks!

I just went ‘all green’ on the subconscious metrics. The last hurdle, that of surpassing the 51-day streak was easy to do for somebody committed to writing every day.

And that describes you, my dear readers. On average, you have written 51+ days in a row, and, in so doing, you have simply floored Buster with your dedication. He set up this site to help him to focus on writing something every day, and the rewards he reaped … for us … for this site, are simply astounding.

Let’s keep flooring Buster, so he can turn to his family and be proud of us, and proud of what he did for us.

Keep writing, dear friends!

Reading some of the testimonial notes…it sounds like the site may not be around for long. Is that true? I JUST JOINED! How can I help keep it here for as long as possible? I only donated 1 cup for now but plan on doing monthy cups soon. I will also spread the word like wildfire…what else can I do?

Buster – No matter what you decide in your plan for whether/how the site continues, please know that what you have created at 750words may well have more lasting impact on the lives of more people than most anything you might do in the future. I know the challenge is figuring out how to make such things “pay” for themselves. But there are people in the world who spend millions of dollars to try to create change in all sorts of ways. You created a site that allowed thousands of people to make profound changes in their writing practice and often their lives. A lot for you to be proud of, and for us to be grateful for, no matter what happens next.

This morning as I was reviewing a situation I was in yesterday (being asked to participate in a national pilot in a dialogue about a rather sensitive subject) I was moved to tears by the time I finished. Slowly the realization hit me that YES, indeed, I have something to offer on this subject. The Universe recognized this, honored this, and therefore I need to accept it and begin to appreciate my giftedness. Honestly I have never thought of it that way before, and so many times I wonder: what do I have to offer? I am so grateful for this space to begin to figure things out, and today I will accept what I do have to offer to the world. The tears are tears of gratefulness!!

I always thought of myself as a writer, but I rarely wrote.
Now I write. Every day.

Thanks!

I don’t know my fate on this site when there’s payment, but I’ve enjoyed it so far. I hope I can be on here for a longer time than my two years will be, this May 2nd. I love this site!

Been using 750 words for 2+ years now, still evangelical about the site! Thanks Buster!

Suggestion: Replace the word “should” with “want” in your internal dialogue. Example: replace “I should call __ and say Happy Birthday” with “I want to call ___ to say Happy Birthday because I want her to know I care.” We ultimately all do what we are going to do anyway, even if the reason is simply to please others. Using “want” forces us to acknowledge that we DO have choices. It is empowering.

There are a lot of achievement junkies out there. Help us get our fix! Sometimes it’s nice to have something specific to work towards when you don’t exactly know what you want to write about.

Instead of the word count being glued to the bottom of the page, let it float near the bottom corner of the screen, regardless where the writer is in their writing. Sometimes I like to go back and edit middle sections, but, because I love watching the word count go up, it’s frustrating for me to not be able to see it and be writing at the same time.

I love the challenges! They helped me to get back into the habit of writing every day and I am so grateful for them and this site!

Spread the wealth. Keep writing. Be happy.

It’s hard to keep a habit of writing every day. Usually, when you come home late in the evening and feel really tired, it would be so much easier to just lie back and relax a bit. But that’s where 750words ‘kicks in’. Because- hey, you’re on a great streak! You can’t let this one evening ruin the work of another 50, or 20, or maybe just 5 days! So you sit down and write. And write. And write. And suddenly it has become a habit that gets easier with each day and the time flows, just like the words, and- hey, when have you written all of that?!
Well, at least that’s what it feels like to me. And I’m sure there are others out there who feel the same.
Thank you, 750words!

Fair play to ye!

I’m proud of my 35-day streak (even though a few times in January I had copied and pasted stuff to make up the rest of my 750 words because I couldn’t think of anything to write) and I’m looking forward to making it even bigger. Thank you for such a helpful site!

Being an idiot, I missed the 2nd day of February even though I was signed up for the month’s challenge.
Being honest, I’ve donated the $20 I promised if I failed the month.
Being hopeful, I want 750 Words to be around for a long time, by whatever means necessary.

I have become aware of the 826 program recently, and think it’s a wonderful idea. I am very much in favour of donating to the group, and encouraging more young writers!

4 cups

Hooray hooray, I wrote for a hundred days in a row! I usually forget now and then, so I am pleased. On to two hundred.

1 cup

Pouring back in the pot! February is an easy time to break resolutions (and streaks), but the month is even shorter! Good luck everyone!

2 cups

The monthly challenge has really been an inspiration for me. I am so proud of myself for completing my first monthly challenge and look forward to my second! Plus I wrote over 52K in January!!!! Woo hoo! Buster, this site rocks! I’m writing every day and I love it!
