The adventure continues! That’s what I love best about this place. Each new day can see a new story, or a new character, or whatever I feel like. Total creative freedom, and a little fun analysis thrown in. It’s the ultimate freewriting canvas.

I found this site about 3 weeks ago, and I fell in love with it at once! Though my morning pages were hit and miss through the years, this site makes it so easy to do them. An added benefit is that it helps me get used to typing while I think, where I needed to write longhand before. That is a definite plus for writing articles and stories! Thank you for this great site!

I think it would be a huge improvement if we were able to format the words into things like paragraphs and use type faces such as bold and italics. As far as I’m aware, this isn’t already the case, and so I’d like to see it in the future.

I love that 750 words gives me a place to empty my brain, but I’d feel much better know that the data is protected

I was referred to this site by a good friend, and since then I’ve managed at least 750 words every day. Figured it was about time I had some Patronage, since it’s done wonders for me.

Since writing I’ve found that my music writing has also been more prolific, and my muse is much more under control than she often is.

Keep it up, everyone!

I want to tell everyone here, you can do this. You may have fits and starts, you may miss a day or two here or there, you are doing this and you can do this. The doing is all.

I’m a writer/teacher who’s taken a day job in the mental health industry — not a huge leap (!), and I love it, but it leaves me exhausted with little time to write. When I was facing ‘empty nest’ in August, my youngest child ready to go off to college and my day filled with the problems and feelings of others, I turned to my long-neglected 750words account. I’ve been writing every day since, and I haven’t had to take a mental health leave from work because of it. Better yet, my morning purge has produced a lot of material I intend to devote time to shaping as the cold weather sets in. This site has disciplined me when everything else I’ve tried has failed. Thank you!

I have been accumulating cups so here’s some to spare…and this site rocks hard…

My girlfriend, now my wife, put me onto this site and I can’t thank her and 750words enough. The simple things in life are often the best and the simple functionality, layout and inspiration work well with the good vibes and intention behind the site. I’m kind of compulsive and don’t want to break my streak but at the same time love that such a simple incentive has inspired me to write so much. I like. Very much.

Best of Luck to all of the October participants!!!

J’écris en français et j’aimerais vraiment avoir le même type d’analyse qu’ont ceux qui écrivent en anglais.

I didn’t realize, I have been writing morning pages for seven months now. Not all have been online, on 750words. There was a learning curve, when I went to the Keys and realized my internet service was non-existent, I lost my “no missing a day” streak then. The next hurdle has been once again the internet and now add in the weather. Some days I just do not have service. But I write, every day. Every day I long to log on my page here and write more. For the first time I am near completion of a novel. In the past I just heaped piles of unfinished ideas in the corner. Finally, something that works. Write your words, 750words!

I’m glad 750words helps me to slog through my brain in the mornings and give me a sense of direction and organization. I still get stressed out, but I find that I can manage my level of stress much better after having spent some time writing and analyzing upcoming events and obligations.

1 cup

Are there any plans for this at all? Currently I can log in from the phone well enough and I can type, but for some reason whenever the keyboard pops up, I can’t actually see the line I’m typing on so I’m writing in complete blindness.

Happy to be of service to Charity.

I’d like this to maintain the formatting that I put in there. Far too often, it’ll mess the formatting I had for it when I’m reading it as text the next day. I’d like this to to be fixed please.

For the first time, I used the “time off” feature as I spent the weekend in NYC. Although I actually did write every day I was gone, it was such a hassle finding free Wifi in a strange area (I refused to pay extra for it at my hotel.) Had a great trip, and I began reading a book about writing. However, I admit to feeling a little bit like a slacker when I uploaded my words for today. Oh Well, I still love this site, and I love it more not having to risk losing my badges.

1 cup

I’d really like to be able to commit to weekdays with weekend offs. I’m quite happy for any badges I earn to look different and reflect that I’m doing an easier version of 750/day with weekends off. I use it like this already and it is OK. However, I do hate feeling like a failure every Monday when I come back and see the friendly motivational messages have all reset.

Thank the creator for morning pages without which I might be loopier…..

It could be in the monthly writing stats section and have the 750th word next to each day – would be very interesting to see what your 750th word was each day!

Set the stats such that a break of more than 1 h isn’t a distraction and such that writing at 60 wpm for an hour, breaking for an hour, and writing another 60 wpm for an hour reports as 60 wpm rather than 40.
