750 words – thank you for always being there for me. I can speak my mind, fantasize, interpret dreams, hey, probably even write the first draft of a novel. Nano here I come! U-DA-BEST, SEVEN -FIVE-OH.

Two months of writing, and tomorrow using 750 to begin NaNoWriMo. Thanks Buster! You have saved my creative life.

Hi everyone,

I just joined a couple of days ago and I signed up for the November challenge and unsigned from it 2-3 times. I’m excited about 750 but I didn’t understand all the features nor some of the features not present. I’m not all that savvy re: computer software. I had hoped to do this 50k word novel thing on 750 but there doesn’t seem to be a way to manipulate the text and I’m just learning how to use it. So, I may accept the challenge next month—but I wish the best of luck and success to my fellow 750ers. I didn’t want to end up in the hall of shame. :)

Writing my 750 words for more than 1-1/2 years has inspired me and given me the courage to sign-up for NaNoWriMo this year. I am excited to begin and so glad that this site has helped me establish the daily-writing habit and given me a community of like-minded folks who like me struggle with (at times) and celebrate those 750 words each day. Thank you, Buster! Thank you, Writers!

I’m hoping to see more badges, including NaNoWriMo badges for 2011!

I just finished my first challenge month. Wrote everyday for the entire month of October. Next month is novel writing every day. Had you asked me a year ago, if I could do something like this – write everyday no matter what – I would have scoffed.
Now, all I can say is thank you Buster and the crew at 750words.com!

I only recently discovered 750 words, but it’s already changing my writing life in an amazing way. I’ve explored many options for writing my NaNoWriMo novel this year, but I’ve decided that writing it in 750 words is the way to go. Come on, midnight!!

I would never have had the commitment to keep up with daily writing without the structure and ease that 750words provides. Love it.

Buster, on the eve of this year’s NaNoWriMo, thank you so much for installing the little printer gadget. I will be able to write and write and then print out and save a manuscript! Just like the “big boys” who have written novels before me! without the hassle of highlighting and copying and pasting etc. etc. Thanks for thinking so carefully about what would help all of us writers.

When a day offers emotional obstacle course hurdles, I frequently find myself thinking about what I’ll have to say on 750words. The processing power of this tool is empowering.

And when do you have to write to get a night bat badge? If not now, then when?

I just lost my words for today, even though my word count reflected 752 words. Not happy. I don’t want to reload. Boo.

Keeping a daily journal has always been important to maintaining my well-being. Which is why it sucked so much when I stopped writing very day. 750words.com has given me back my equilibrium — I keep my reminder email marked as unread and it glares at me all day until I stop procrastinating and start writing. There’s nothing happier than the moment when I pass 750 words and my counter turns green!

I wrote a journal throughout my teens but demands on my time after I started working full-time crowded it out of my life. Thanks 750words for motivating me to start writing daily again. Now I realise how much I had missed taking a few minutes to reflect on my thoughts each day.

I want to give a shoutout to the Houston NaNoers who led me to 750words. I’m now limbered up and ready for The Writing Marathon Formerly Known As The Month Of November. Thanks, y’all!

The month of October has been insane with overcommitments and learning to juggle full time work with returning to school. I’m appreciative of the opportunities and find it amazing that in all of that, when everything else has dropped off the map, this is the one thing I’ve consistently continued through the month! I’m grateful for this space and the quiet time I get writing these words!

750words.com has helped me reconnect with my writing. I have a journalism degree but have not written anything in years. The daily practice with 750 words is helping me rebuild my confidence and get back in touch with some much needed creativity. I have also found that writing like this is very healing. I am able to express anger, fear, frustration, excitement, and all sorts of other emotions in a very safe, private way. Expressing them here has helped me be much more objective and balance in my relationships with my husband, family and friends. Thank you for this site.

A friend recently introduced me to this website and so far I’ve found it extremely helpful for staying motivated to get up each morning and have a goal to work towards, first thing. While not the only tool I use for writing, it has already payed for itself in terms of the sketching and inspiration I’ve drawn from it.

As someone who struggles mightily with ADD, 750words.com, its badges and monthly challenges provide motivation for me to impose some structure on my own life and my daily writings keep me more focused and engaged in that life. It has been a godsend. Thanks.

I was just writing a rather detailed feature request and lost it when 750 words locked itself :-(

Invert the colours so that it’s white/orange text on black background. It strains the eye less when typing in a darkroom and apparently black is more energy saving. Go dark: Save my eyes, save the world.

I’m nearing 200 days of writing 750 Words, and honestly, I don’t think I’ve been able to do something like this, consistently, for so long. The One Month Challenges are particularly motivating – it’s just a month, it made me think, but after doing it once, I couldn’t stop. And even though the badges are just pixels on a computer – they don’t have any monetary value – it still gives me a sense of accomplishment.
