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!

Who runs this site?

Our names are Buster and Kellianne, we live in Berkeley, California with our two sons (Niko and Louie) and this is something we've built and run in our spare time.

Twice Daily Writings

I’d like to get into the habit of writing pages once in the morning and once in the evening. It’d be great if I could split these into two different sets (especially for purposes of tracking/stats/etc.) rather than have it be one large piece of writing separated by a many hour gap. Perhaps it would be set up as an option in user settings, or even just a bit of metadata one could put in their writing to mark that separation.

I am glad my Aunt told me about this site, for the first time I feel there is a way to get my ideas out and I can toss the silly ones and improve on the good ones.

Go for it, monthly challenge writers! It feels so amazing to complete this challenge!

At first, it started out as a challenge between my sister and I: who could get a longer day-streak? Who could write the most words in one day? Who could finish their 750 in the shortest amount of time? But recently, my sister decided to take a more relaxed approach to 750words.com and hasn’t been writing every day. So the challenges had to come from myself at that point. I’ve come up with the strangest challenges for myself to allow this site to help broaden my writing abilities. One day I challenged myself to get an NC-17 rating without making the entire entry sound like a teenage boy wrote it. Another day, I challenged myself to write an entry almost entirely about eating/drinking in the stats. Every day, I try to challenge myself to new extremes like this in order to round out my writing abilities more. This site allows you to do these things easily and keep track of them even more easily. It’s awesome!

I’d like to offer this Cup of Patronage in memory of my Mom, Emily Leatrice Serrapede. She stressed perseverance and patience when working towards a goal.

85 days ago, I found this website. Two days ago, I finished my first monthly challenge. Yesterday, I passed 100,000 words. If I can do it, so can you!

Something between the 30 and 100 days would be nice. Perhaps badges that focus on our writing, like the Sunshine badge for 10 days of overall positive writing or the Doom badge for 10 days of overall negative writing. The Reaper badge if your writing is concerned with death for a certain amount of time. The Self-Important badge when you write in first person for 30 straight days. ;^^ Something like that.

I actually use this site as a way to increase my writing turn out. With small rewards and goals to go for (as well as the threat of losing my streak) I am encouraged to write every day and get some of these great ideas- or not so great ideas- down onto digital paper. Thanks, 750Words. What an amazing site.

I’ve called myself a writer for a long time, but I’ve only written sporadically lately. These past six months or so, I’ve had an awful time. I’ve been horribly depressed, to the point where there have been uncountable nights where I just don’t want to wake up in the morning. But 750 Words has helped me clear my mind, help me sort through things, help me understand where my blocks and triggers are. The analysis in particular is very helpful. So thanks, 750 Words!
