The Friends & Members of 750 Words

Though a mobile site of 750words.com works perfectly fine and optimized greatly for writing, there is something more you can do with an app, I suppose. As for me I frequently type my 750 words while in a metro, using an iPhone, or while flying. To be short, in places with no internet access. So afterwards, I simply paste the text and it spoils the statistics as I finish an entry in a sec or two. Offline typing in an app and sync with the site would be great.
Moreover, I want to have a chance to access my entries easily using my phone. Having access to all of your entries, using a mobile or tablet app would be more than awesome with an opportunity to download pdfs or txts to your devices directly (need to transfer using dropbox or email still).
Hope you will find it useful. It is just my own experience and some thoughts about useful features I would love to see in the future.
Thank’s Buster Benson. You are doing a really nice job.

I have been working on writing a story for 3.5 years. First I thought it would be one book, then two. Now I’m thinking only a trilogy will do. Thank you 750words, and the monthly challenge for providing that extra bit of need/urgency so I actually write EVERY DAY so that I don’t suddelnly look back and realize I wrote half of what I was capable of.
Thank you.

March Challenge Met! Wall of Awesomeness! This has been such fun; daily encouragement/ stats really help daily writing. Love reading my Word Cloud aloud every day. Writing habits I put in place have changed the essence of my entries (e.g., eliminating “not”). I am so happy my weather stats appear every day and I do like the MetaTags. I still dream of appearing in The List in the “People Writing This Month” sidebar of March’s Writers, but know it is never to be. That list = dark mystery. I also dream of seeing my badges lined up like everybody else’s, instead of having a huge white gap on the left of the 2nd line and the remaining badges appearing all alone underneath. Meanwhile, I put these small things on a high shelf and write the words that shape my day. Thank you Buster & Team!

I’ve never written this many words or this many words consecutively. Thank you 750 words and buster for helping me get back into morning pages! Thanks for making it easy to write a little each day. :)

I’ve not been to 750words.com in a little while, but all it took was one day to sit down at the site with its inviting blank screen and throw up all over the page. I instantly remembered how good this is for me. I’ve renewed my commitment by starting small. I’m writing at 750words.com at least three times a week.

My head is getting clearer already.

Writing every day for six months was amazing, and even though I’m now only writing most days, 750words is still a critical component of my creativity every time I write. Thank you Buster!

I’ve said it before, but this would be the most awesome thing – the two tools I use more than any others are Evernote and 750words. If they worked together it would complete my life!

750 Words is the sticker book of my adulthood. I’ve always had trouble sticking with the morning pages, even though I love the idea. My hand cramped from all the writing, it took too long, I regularly forgot about it. 750 Words and the badges that I earn for showing up regularly have been all the motivation that I need to stick with it. It has only been 9 days, but that is a streak that is 3x longer than any other time I’ve tried to write regularly! Thanks 750 words!

How about special badge for 750 days in a row? I’m on 401 day but I’m aiming high ;)

Please, please, please can we have a reminder that can be sent to phones as a text at 11pm (whichever timezone we’re in) If by that time we havent written for the day. My second 100 day streak ruined by my forgetful/busy brain. Setting alarms to write at a particular time each day futile, having an alarm go off each day at 11pm – an annoyance if I’ve already written. I need a writing monitor. This is a feature I’d be willing to pay for.

would like to see how these feature votes are being counted and which ones are looking popular.

i’d really like to be able to add to the previous days’ entry rather than have a blank page every day. that probably goes agaisnt the philosophy of the site.

I am still new to the site, having written only sporadically over the past 2 weeks. I am looking forward to becoming more regular about it, but I have a question – when is the best time to do this? As soon as I wake up and am still groggy, after I’ve had my breakfast? What if I don’t get to it in the morning at all – should I still do it in the afternoon?

I love this site. I never have to worry about someone reading anything that I am not ready to let them see; and whenever I am having a nasty day, it is the perfect place to vent. It is both my creative workshop and the friend that is kind enough to smile and knod when I need to get a good rant out of my system.

You know how you can bookmark any page to the home screen of your iPad? This is what I’ve done with 750words.com.

If only there was a custom icon…

I do not write 750 words each day. In fact I do not hardly ever write 750 words here. I do not write here every day either. BUT… everyday I am reminded to write, and I start my blog here many times. I write a lot at other places, and value ‘750’ greatly, even if my word count here does not show it. Here’s my blog if anyone would like to view… http://tedstrutz.com/ … I would love the feedback.

I’ve decided to go for the “50,000 words in one month” badge. Increasing the number of words I write each day, to meet that goal, caused something I could have predicted, but didn’t really think about before I started: the depth of the writing, rather than just scratching the surface with 750 words per day, has brought out issues and topics and insights I would not have otherwise examined. I find myself paying less attention to the word counter and more attention to getting my thoughts out onto the page.

Thank you, again, for a place to do this important work.

It will be nice to have an app for 750words… for the iPad… that way we can easily write more… and the move

I feel so good today, for having completed a goal, important goal for me and this site helped a lot, so I will continue to embrace it, as a very important time of my day, dedicated only to me and my writing as a journal.blog/ therapy, tool.
Thanks to people that make this happen.

750 Words has made me a better writer. Since I began using this website in December, I have greatly improved my ability to organize my thoughts into coherent sentences. I am now able to write papers much more easily and quickly, because I write at least 750 words every day. And not only is my writing improving, buy my thinking has also become more clear; I am able to understand my thoughts and I can now put my thoughts into actual words. So thank you 750 Words, for doing what you do.

This week i have been down with Gastro ( as in the bug, not some rapper type), but getting to go my pages was something that i had to do, even between vomits. admittedly the entries were slower, and i didn’t have much to say, but they did get done. or so i thought. in one night’s delirium, i signed out thinking i’d managed 774 words, and now i spot that it was infact 747. ACH!! 3 words short, bringing my 142 day streak to an end. I am gutted, and so annoyed at myself but it goes to show how engrained 750words has become for me. So, back to being an egg then, albeit a thinner one after this week…

750 Words encourages writing, and writing encourages thinking and self-reflection, and if there’s anything this world needs, it’s more thoughtful people. Writing on 750 Words means I’m getting off the treadmill and taking the time to think about what’s important, instead of what’s urgent and right in front of my nose.

Last night I was up late working on a project. Ironically, I was writing – just not on the 750words website. And then I went to sleep. This morning when I realized that I forgot to “do my words” last night, I was so annoyed with myself. Annoyed that I was back to the “egg.” Annoyed that I would be getting a note from Buster today telling me I fell out of the running for the monthly challenge. And that part of me that used to quit things all the time started to rear its head and I heard it say, “Who needs that website anyway?” But then I realized that I need it. This website has helped me form a daily writing habit – something that I didn’t think was possible before. So I start again. Reluctantly but with gratitude.
