The Friends & Members of 750 Words
750 Words exists because of mutual good will between the people that run this site (Buster & Kellianne) and the people who use it (you). The site wouldn't exist without the generosity, patience, and humor of everyone involved. For the first 3+ years that the site was running (Dec 2009 to May 2013), the site was free to use but with some encouragement to donate. That served us well (and most importantly, generated enough income to keep the site up), but as the site grew the need for support also grew.
On June 12th 2013, all existing users of the site were given lifetime free accounts (we hope you'll continue to donate when you can). New accounts created after June 12th, 2013 are now required to become members within 30 days after signing up in order to keep writing. Everyone will always have access to previous writings, stats, etc, even if they choose not to become members.
We're listening to your feedback and want to make sure that first and foremost, we offer a friendly and safe place for people to dump their private thoughts. I expect that we'll continue to adjust the way this all works for the near term. Thanks for being an awesome community!

Testimonial Note from Michael W on Mon, Oct 01
1 cup750 Words est une très bonne idée, les badges, les challenges poussent à être plus présent, plus compétitif. Moi, je ne connais rien a l’anglais. je sais à la limite me débrouiller avec les menus, mais guère plus… Il y a quand même des expressions que je ne suis toujours pas capable de comprendre comme “Holy moley” ou “proceeded thusly”, même avec un traducteur ! Donc écrire en anglais c’est impossible ! Et comme c’est impossible, je n’ai pas accès au quart des statistiques du site. C’est pénalisant…. Merci !

1 cup750 Words has been such a great comfort and help. A secure server would make it feel safer. Thanks.

1 cupToday, I was feeling really lost and needed to get grounded again. I “ran” to my 750words tab and started writing it out. Rather than flounder or feel blown off my feet, I found my way. This is what I get from being here. Thanks.

3 cupsThis has been a wonderful way to get back in touch with personal writing. I’ve journaled on and off over the years, but always hit a quandry when I’d finish a notebook; what do I do with it? On the one hand, those are my words and my thoughts, and they’ve very special and important to me. I want to be able to browse them again and look back to see my own growth. But they’re private, and I don’t want other people to get them and read them. This offers a perfect solution, because the words are locked securely behind a new password designed just for this site. Thanks Buster; this is a godsend!

5 cups750 days of 750 days! I never would have thought it possible when I started writing on this site a couple of years ago – thanks Buster! You have changed my life!

2 cupsThis site has helped me in so many ways. Today I celebrate reaching 100k words! Very awesome to me. I’ve always been a journaler, but now my writing is more focused and intentional than ever before. I see this a huge accomplishment in personal growth and self discipline. I often do not feel like writing, but do it anyway…. What a concept! Thanks to all you who are on this journey with me.

1 cupI am no writer, but I find “free writing” once a day boosts my productivity in so many other areas. My focus has improved and creativity is blossoming in ways I haven’t experienced before. Also, general conversations are more free flowing and non-stuttering as a result.

3 cupsI presume I am not the only person who could not get to this site last night because of this message.

1 cupI am presuming that I am not the only person who could not access the site last night because of this warning. “750 words uses an invalid security certificate.

2 cupsI am a Space Bird and it makes me sad that there will be no badge after this. I would love if there were more.
New Feature Vote from Rachel Hanville on Fri, Sep 28
1 cupThank you for the ability to schedule days off! I had signed up for this site a couple years ago (gasp) and then fell away from it. I “found” it again recently and have been keeping up my writing here since then. I haven’t been perfect — one day this month I meant to come back and finish and then plum forgot. But the ability to schedule days has been invaluable! I was travelling and wasn’t sure how reliable an internet connection would be. On days when I had internet, I would write on the site and cancel that day’s scheduled time off. On days when I didn’t have an internet connection, I would write offline, thereby keeping my habit up, without worrying about “breaking” a streak. Really, what I’m happiest about is that my writing here has become habit. What a wonderful gift!
Testimonial Note from Naomi Butterfield on Fri, Sep 28
1 cupThis site has been a staple in my life for years now. I’m a proud owner of a Space Bird badge and it is one of my prized accomplishments. So this cup is given in honour of my space bird, who has yet to get a name. Thank you for a brilliant journey!
Testimonial Note from Agatha Noble on Wed, Sep 26
3 cupsI have not been writing regularly since about March, but have needed to get back to it for sometime. I find that when I really use this site, my creative work is easier. Even if I’m not writing about my creative work, the practice through writing everyday that is encouraged helps free my mind to really think about the stories I want to create. This is my first day back in six months or more, and I plan to be as consistent as I was a year ago. Thanks!
Testimonial Note from Jennifer Marshburn on Wed, Sep 26
42 cupsFor Mario who fixed my streak. I love 750 words, and it is great that there are people behind it who care, enough to fix stuff for us. So this is all my current coffee patronage + 1 because 42 is such an awesome number!
Double Down on Charity Note from Julie Hughes on Wed, Sep 26
1 cupYesterday I wrote an important letter in my pages and then copied it , printed it and sent it. It has already had a beneficial impact and without my pages I would not have had the presence of mind or the writing chops to conceive it, write it down, revise it and send it.
