This site is such an inspiration! I have been writing for 9 days in a row when I hadn’t been writing at all. It’s getting me into my niche again, and putting me on a schedule and giving me badges and praise to earn. I love it, and what’s more; I thank you for it!

750words.com is helping me greet the day with a better frame of mind. When I first started the entries were such a downer. As I reread them I thought, “Who would want to hear such thoughts?” Now I write as if I’m in a coversation with someone I love or care about. The state of mind is significantly better and I’m prepared to face the day with an upbeat attitude.

I have been a Morning Pages believer for years. But belief does not always turn into action so I come and go on the pages. Although I want to be an artsy-fartsy kind of guy, I have the soul of an engineer (don’t worry he won’t miss it)(engineer joke, get over it). 750words.com salves my engineer soul by letting me slice and dice my words, keeps track so I have a count of what I have done in words and days all the while makes me feel that I am working the artsy-fartsy part of my psych. I love being able to brag that I have written tens of thousands of words in the last couple of months. Thanks for helping to integrate my soul ;-)

I made it to 100,000 words and I am so grateful for this space, I had to give something extra. I am a middle school English teacher, so there is nothing closer to my heart than promoting writing skills in young people. Keep up the good work, 826 Seattle, and thanks, Buster, for providing the space for us to write here.

I used to get so distracted when I was writing, but thanks to this site it is getting so much easier. I am doing Camp NaNoWriMo now and not even finding it that hard! I am on day 99 now and I can’t wait to find out what I’ll write during the next 99!

Thanks 750 Words!

Thanks for your efforts to preserve the declining art (and vital professional and life skill) of writing.

I’m a qualitative researcher in my (paid) work life, and find the text analytic features really interesting. I would love to know more about how the current analytic tools generate stats from text, and if there are any improvements to increase functionality and accuracy in the future. New analytic tools—perhaps geared towards writing style or patterns—might help writers understand and improve their writing. Thanks for this site!

750 Words is almost like a meditation to me. I meditate, as well, but combined with 750, I can start each day with a clean slate.

Getting everything out of my head and onto a (web)page is a great exercise that’s helped with my creative thinking and goals.

That, and it’s just a great way to vent. Loving the site and service. Thank you.

I have been writing on and off on 750 for at least a year and a half now and have loved it every time I have used it consistently. Now that I have been back for 5 days consistently, I can definitely say that I look forward to my writing time each evening. It is also helping me get back into gear with writing my novel. A note to any of you out there who are doing the same: if you want inspiration to strike, write beyond 750 or, even better, beyond 1000. I find some of the most cohesive ideas come out beyond 1000 words. Cheers!

310 day streak and I finished writing my first proper novel on the weekend. It’s being proofread and edited now. I couldn’t have done it without this site. Fact.

Yesterday for the first time, I really, really did NOT want to write. Yet, it was the occasion of my 70th consecutive day. So I pressed on. And, just like exercise, I felt better after I was done. Thanks for all the fellow writers out there who inspire me to press on.

it would be nice if you could indent and it stayed even after the entry was saved. after the day ends and the entry closes, the indentations disappear. :)

Text analysis for other languages would be cool.

I am in my 128 day streak, and this is for my second round because in 2011, I got to 286 days in a row, and due to a misfortunate day that I did not finish my word before the day ended, I broke my streak. This year I found that if for any reason I will not be able to write there is something I can do to not loose my streak, so I want to continue to thank Buster to help me to get inspired and write every single day. My artistic soul has found a home to inspire my day to day life getting out the feelings that are stuck inside into this site.

I don’t know what this says about me, but I find the badges to be hugely motivating. But there’s a big gap right now between the 30-day and 100-day badges. Maybe you could add a 50-day (or 60-day) badge in there, to provide some extra motivation?

I am going through some big changes in my life right now and writing has allowed me to get really clear about some decisions i will be making. I am very grateful for this website as it keeps me on track.
I look forward to writing everyday and before 750 words, it was a big challenge to get started.

I really like this site — when I use it…I started out on a one month challenge about six months ago and said that if I didn’t finish the challenge that I would donate $25 and do the challenge the next month. I didn’t do either and it has been bugging me ever since. This is a chance for me to “come clean” and and clear my conscience. It’s a great site — just wish my ADD would allow me to use it regularly as I’ve got a lot of weight to lose (weight gained because of medical reasons) so I’m torn between getting my exercise in on a regular basis and writing my 750 words…

Just keep writing. A word after a word after a word. You are worth it. You are valuable. Let your voice be heard even if only in the silence of your own awareness.

I have written over 100k words since starting in January, and that would be a whole novel if they were all about the same story. NEvertheless, it’s clear that I can write a novel in less than 30 minutes a day if I write for six months. That’s certainly doable. I find that even if the words are clunky, by the time I’ve hacked in 400 of them, they begin to flow and I find that story thread again. This is a life saver for me.

I have only been writing for five days, but it has already changed my life a little. I write quite late in the day because I use this as a diary for what has happened so far and to clear my head. Even though it has only been five days, I already find myself looking forward to writing. I’m slowly getting into a routine, and a routine is very much needed in my life right now. Thanks so much for creating this website and thank so much for the opportunity to write without hesitation and without scruples whatever I want to write.

I am in my 126 day streak, and this is for my second round because in 2011, I got to 286 days in a row, and due to a misfortunate day that I did not finish my word before the day ended, I broke my streak. This year I found that if for any reason I will not be able to write there is something I can do to not loose my streak, so I want to continue thanks to Buster to write every single day. It has been a great help to find out that besides painting watercolors I can also be a good writer. My artistic soul has found a home to inspire my day to day life getting out the feelings that are stuck inside into this site. So once more Thanks for this opportunity to do the best I can about my writing.

i’ve been a writer for a very long time, but as you all know, it can be difficult to motivate oneself every single day. i don’t know why this site does it for me, but between writing here, and one of my other sites, plus my own blog, plus poetry from pen to paper i’m writing 1500-2000 words every day. good for the soul. thanks for inventing the website, buster. works for me.

I try to write about everything I can remember from my day. And it amazes me what I find – so many little things that would have passed without a second thought if I didn’t take this time to recall them. Writing about each little incident enables me to evaluate what matters and what doesn’t. To quote Anita Brookner “You never know what you will learn until you start writing. Then you discover truths you never knew existed.”
