The Friends & Members of 750 Words

The One Month Challenge was honestly one of the best things that pushed me to write every day. And on my first try too! I just started in September, and I know that this website is the tool that I needed to get my creative juices flowing. Just give me a few more months, and I think I’ll be on my way to getting a piece of my work published!

750words seems to have trouble seeing my words when I write on an Android computer. It’d be nice to get credit for all my words and not just the ones the site sees.

I am a professional procrastinator. After reading about 750 words, I felt the challenge would get me started, and was right! I used the two first days to write a short story, then perfected it to send to a call to submissions for an anthology. They picked my story to be included!!! Thank you 750 Words!! Check out Perfect Pumpkin Pie in “The Killer Wore Cranberry: A Second Helping”. I never would have written it without your website and inspiration to find time to write.

Any time now? People have been requesting this for as long as I’ve been here. Heck, you could rig something with Amazon’s secure hosting, if you don’t want to roll your own. (Admittedly, that drives up costs a bit.)

750 Words has quickly become my favorite place on the Internet. It’s the one site where I can unburden my thoughts and just let it all out without anyone noticing. And even on days when I don’t have anything to write about, I find that making myself write to keep my streak gets my brain going and my ideas flowing for the rest of the day. Thanks, Buster, for the wonderful site!

I’ve taken to writing my pages, then deleting them if they’re personal. I wish I didn’t have to do that. I’d really like to be able to sunset old pages and be sure that the server was secure.

Just passed my 100 days mark last month. I have never been able to keep a regular journal and it has been so wonderful to have this outlet. Thank you so, so, so much.

750.words has helped me write more and by writing daily my thoughts have become more organized and I feel more creative. I think it’s a splendid way to clear your mind and have some writing fun at the same time. ^u <3 <3

Promoting teaching is a valuable thing, people who are willing to give up their time in the belief that others are their equals or at least have the potential to be. I feel like people who use 750 words probably have this feeling deep down that one day, when we are not so scared – we will show our unfiltered thoughts to the world… to show people we have faith in our equality; our willingness to be closer to one another.
Also, good luck to the NaNoWriMo Warriors, I am with you.

I was using this morning pages strategy before… but this page is so funny and so easy to use… I want to fly long with 750words!

This site is hands down a real eye and heart opener. I was actually able to do my pages every day for the full course of the Artist Way, and now I’m back for more. Thank you!

When I logged on today I wrote my words and then wanted to schedule time off, because I won’t have internet access this weekend. I realised that my patronage had run out and I did not think twice to renew it. 750 words is a powerfull tool, that has helped me in so many ways. Mostly of all it has shown me that I have the willpower to do something for a long time even if I don’t always feel like it. 97 days ago I was two days short of 100 days and forgot to write one day and lost my progress towards my phoenix badge – I was so angry at myself and first and then I realised – it’s not about the badges, it’s about the daily reward you get from writing. I am 3 days short of completing the second 100 days and I hope to see myself reach 365 one day. Thank you, Buster!

I have created the beneficial habit of writing every morning. I think that writing every day and the repetition of what I am writing is going to effect a great change in my life. It’s never too late to start a second childhood!

I have been using 750 words for nearly 40 days so far. Initially I thought this was going to be an outlet to clear my head each morning. Around the same time I started writing daily, I also decided to quit chewing tobacco. I know, I know, it is such a nasty habit. One I had hidden for nearly 15 years. I started tracking my cravings and just putting my thoughts down where I could reflect back. I have tried quitting many times over the parts 5 years, and always failed. This has been the easiest time so far. I think it really helps to log your successes. I have also found that establishing golas each morning are helping me hold myself more accountable on the time I waste throughout each day. Who would have known that this tool would end up being so useful. Thank you to Buster and everyone who make this site what it is. It has been awesome to replace on bad habit with a new habit that has been beyond helpful.

750words will be my NaNoWriMo buddy, and there will be a 750 Badge at the end! Happiness is the first euphoria of NaNo! Hoping almost one year of 750words will keep me going to the Badge!!

I never thought I could write consistently, every day, no matter what. My parents were having health issues and I’d spent 9 months providing 24X7 support when I found this site. I’ve written every day since. What a great outlet and support!

Something about logging in, making the commitment to be here every day, and simply writing with no agenda has been inspiring.

I am sure it has been for many others as well.

This cup of patronage is my forfeit for failing the October Challenge. I bet 3 cups for November so here’s hoping that I will complete that one.

My 750 Words experience started off as a writing group challenge (the member of the group with the least points by the next meeting bought the first round), but it has improved my writing exponentially, particularly in coming up with ideas and following through with those fragments that never seemed to go anywhere. I can’t recommend it enough (and I’m definitely not buying the first round).

Good luck to everyone doing NaNoWriMo this month!

So happy to see the weather stat suddenly restored on this Halloween, after been mysteriously gone for a couple of months. Features go and come, and all we love may be gone in an instant; but the words are (usually—they disappear mysteriously, too) there and live on and make a nice bridge across the clouds of the day. Love to 750words as October ends!

First of all, a disclaimer: I don’t consider myself to be a writer.

Now, don’t get me wrong; I love to write. I don’t know how I good I am at it, but that isn’t the thing that matters.

I’m not anything special. I’m just another teenage guy, another face in the crowd. And you know what? I’m okay with that. Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life and my greatest treasure, and that’s all the purpose that I need.

My life is not my own, but at the moment I’m the steward of it. And I don’t want to waste a single second.

To me, writing is more exciting and engaging than any video game that I could play or any movie that I could watch. The problem is, when it’s late and I’m tired, the concept doesn’t always thrill me.

So, thank you. Thank you for the little kick in the pants that I need to hunker down at my keyboard and start tapping away. “It’s 10pm,” I’ll say to myself. “I have class in the morning. I can write tomorrow.” And then that 9-day streak looks me square in the eye and says, “You’re not going to let me die.”

I’ll leave you with this to dwell on: I’ve written more in the last nine days than I’ve written in the last nine months. Enough said.

In the short time since I’ve discovered this site I’ve found it to be an excellent resource for the word vomit of my every day stream-of-consciousness writing. It is helping to make my self-prescribed discipline with my writing practice more attainable. My favorite feature is the word analysis, I look forward every day to seeing what I’ve revealed about myself, and love trying to best my own time record! If there is any possibility for more in-depth analysis of what our words are saying about us on a daily basis that would be brilliant.
Thank you for the lovely simplicity of 750words! By far one of my favorite places to spend time online. :)

I reached 100 days a few days ago and received my Phoenix badge. What an accomplishment for me! The last time I had a streak like that was probably twenty years ago. Having a husband and children makes it much more difficult to write every single day, but 750words has helped me to do that. This site works! I have wanted to write a novel for as long as I can remember but never was able to get past the initial outlining phase. Well, after purging my brain regularly on this site, I am trying again. I’m very excited about it and hope that I will be able to follow through this time and end up with a full manuscript. Thank you, 750words!
