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.

writing my words everyday helps me clear my mind. it is the one place i can say what i really feel and talk about what ever without any one having something to say about it. it is like having a new best friend.

I adore this site! I’ve wanted for so long to write on a regular basis, but life (and stress) always got in the way. 750words is a fun and encouraging way to achieve this goal of mine, not to mention how centered I feel because of the reflection I am able to do every day. P.S. I’m now in a competition with myself to try and get as many badges as possible. So fun!

Some people say coffee is addictive, but I can go a day or even a week without it. Since I started writing 750 words a day, I cannot go a day without writing.

Triple Flock and Quadruple Flock badges

One of the things I love about 750words is that the site has given me the motivation not only to write daily, but to write more. I’ve already earned the ‘Double Flock’ badge and the Nano. I think it would be fun to work towards other badges that recognise the amount of writing I do. Thanks for a great site! :-)

I really like badges. I haven’t had a new one in about a MILLION YEARS, but I’m really looking forward to earning my 250k words badge… soon, soon!

I never imagined I could have written 25,000 words in a month on the side – but thanks to 750 Words’ amazing One Month Challenge and Badges, I am officially Awesome!

Every year since time began, I pledge to write every day as a New Year’s Resolution. Thanks to this site, this is the first year that I’m on my way to fulfilling that pledge. Being a nerd who loved being graded, the badges are a huge motivation! When I was doubled over with the flu, I dragged myself to the computer in between bouts of being sick so I could ‘get my words in’ and keep up my streak. I even snuck in time to do my words while I was traveling and on vacation. The daily practice, no matter what drivel comes out, has helped me become a better writer, and certainly more disciplined. This is exactly what I’ve needed.

750 words helps me get all the dark and twisty out of my head, leaving me with sugar and spice and all things nice! Thank-you!

I’ve improved my writing so much just by writing daily that I want to encourage others to do this too!

I really kind of LOVE the graphics on this site, so your graphic design team gets a huge HUG from me, although they will have to share this cup of coffee.

thanks to this site I can easily write a few pages of text without hesitation. but, sadly, I write as easily and many stupid things (read bullshit).

Thank you very much for your site.
I’ve been writing straight for a month and I already see the benefits when I write stories. I’ve got a greater flow and my subconscious mind isn’t blocked as easily.
Furthermore I feel how my willpower has increased a great deal thanks to creating this new habit.

As a Middle School English Teacher, I’ve tried a number of ways to stay in touch with my own writing while nurturing my students as writers. Signing up with 750 words enabled me to stay on top of my own writing goals and I can definitely say by forcing myself to be more creative, I pass that along to students. We’re so immersed in a test taking world that this project is enabling me to be more patient and understanding with my student writers. Thanks so much!

Edit Past Entries

I love the site, and have had a lot of fun writing. It would be nice to go back and edit past entries, I still keep my Penzu account active because I like the ability to edit old posts there.

Notebook

It would be a blank page that would always be editable, regardless of time. It would be a place to put on going projects, plots, story ideas, etc. I use the daily work space for my brain dump and Meta Data for any random plot points, but it would be great to have a separate notebook for projects I can work on later. :)
