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!

Notes of inspiration from members 1 cupThe act of writing everyday is hard when you don’t have something motivating you. And for me the writing streaks, badges and challenges are the perfect thing to keep me writing.

1 cupA badge for winning three challenges? For winning a streak of challenges? For writing 1000 words for 10 days in a row? For writing above the world average for certain stats? Anything, but lots more badges please.

1 cupWriting every single day has shown me that I really can stick to something and create a new habit. It clears my head, gets all the random thoughts down on virtual paper and has helped me get my new business plan underway.

1 cupI absolutely love this site. 750 words allowed me to write every day as I kept trying to do. With the inspiration of getting badges and having long writing streaks, I’ve looked back and have been really proud of myself for being able to keep up and write every day. I recommend this site for any aspiring authors as myself. :)

2 cupsI recently graduated from my university and had a crazy summer of job-searching, moving to Europe, and a lot of time spent alone with my own thoughts. 750words gave me the chance to write down my rants, raves, work out my thoughts, and look at how my subconscious was trending. It cleared up a dark storm of thoughts, bringing peaceful blue skies to my mind. I am sure that my summer would have been a whole lot more stressful and my outlook more negative had I not had this place to come to every evening and a month straight of writing to do. Many Thanks!

10 cupsLast day of August, and I’ve just finished the final chapter of my novel. Thank you 750 words! This site and the monthly challenges have been a major inspiration to keep on going. Thanks again!

4 cupsCongratulations to the amazing people who finished one month without missing a day!
One Month Challenge Bounty from Yonmei onIJ on Thu, Aug 30
1 cupDaily writing isn’t much of a challenge for me, since writing is how I make a living. But it’s still motivational to see that big black X marking off each day and a bigger overall number of words. I love the stats! I started using the site daily on August 3rd, too late for the month’s challenge, but I intend to sign up for September’s challenge and write all my words on a new project at the site just to watch the numbers (and badges) add up. Thanks for a fun little boost in my day!

1 cupI just started writing regularly again, and it feels good, so I thought I should give some back :-)
Double Down on Charity Note from Kristina Behner on Mon, Aug 27
10 cupsI started writing here 367 days ago. In other words, I have been faithfully writing for a whole year, which I find incredible, given the fact that I am pretty much a dilettante. I enjoy the fact that I am writing ‘for my eyes only’. Thanks Buster for this great place.
Testimonial Note from Claude Covo on Mon, Aug 27
7 cups150 days in a row! I know that isn’t a badge, but yay!
One Month Challenge Bounty from Kali Clara on Sun, Aug 26
1 cup750 has changed my life. Literally. In the throes of deep, dark depression, that has nearly consumed my entire being and existence, I have found a light at the end of the tunnel called 750. Through these daily writings, I have gradually begun to rekindle a kind “friendship” with myself, reconnecting thoughts and memories and greatest of all, hope. Thanks so much, Buster and company. Thanks for continuing to grow and expand the site, for the mobile versions, and for being willing to help resolve problems and streaks. You are awesome!!

1 cupAfter the Space Bird, what comes next? Maybe an all-time Hall of Fame?
New Feature Vote from Rhea Wong on Fri, Aug 24
1 cupI JUST GOT A SPACE BIRD! Thanks Buster. This site has made me dedicate myself to the practice of writing daily for over a year and it’s made a huge impact on my creativity, output and discipline. You rock! Thanks for the Space Bird.
Testimonial Note from Rhea Wong on Fri, Aug 24
1 cupability to push tab and move forward, rather than having to use line breaks to seperate paragraphs… might be tough, might be a reserved key or something. Thanks again for a great site!
