The Friends & Members of 750 Words

It’s funny – I dread writing my 750 words every day. It feels like some sort of pointless addiction.

However, when I’m done, I always feel better, lighter. I’m very glad for this site – if you don’t feel like somebody who will benefit from writing, just give it a shot and see what happens – I’ve never been disappointed yet!

A round on me, to the winners of April’s challenge.
Peace.

I was in need of a little extra focus in this phase of my life. Turns out a daily dose of about 20 minutes of writing is just what the doctor ordered! I especially like the points and badges system; it’s a little like Pokemon for grownups. Who says we have to give up games when we grow up?

750 Words had allowed me to fulfill a long-held dream of writing every day that I could never make happen. Without the daily reminder and word target, I would not be able to write even now; I seem to respond only when there’s an ‘external’ obligation. I’m surprised to see how easily the words flow when I get down to it. I would never have found out if it wasn’t for 750 Words.

Hi Buster – I am a fan of “The Artist’s Way” and an off and on morning pager for many years. More off than on I’m afraid especially as my business took me toward more techie tools and the pen and paper seemed harder to pick up. I am loving 750 words as I can get my morning pages done significantly faster and start my day with a clear head! I love the little tokens too – it’s a silly way to feel a sense of accomplishment. I even felt bragging rights for my Flamingo. Thanks!!

Love the site. Pure, simple, clean, don’t have to think to use it.

Outstanding feature: Graphs.
Feature needed: https & 1way encryption.

Could do it by running the text through the assessment engines, indexing the text, and THEN encrypting it.

750 Words has helped me in more ways than can be written down. It’s filled the gap between text documents and blogs: a place where one can simply get all of their thoughts down on (metaphorical) paper. At night, when I get most of my work done, it’s nice to have a spot to ramble on about things or work out ideas for half an hour before I get to work. The point system is also a great motivator for continuing to write every day. I think everyone needs a place to just get all of their thoughts out of their system.

Thank you.

I have been working through a few minor mental setbacks. Discovering 750 words earlier this week has been a huge help and relief to me.

Thank you Buster.

Given some of my more stream-of-consciousness entries, I get a little nervous about my words sitting around in plaintext on the 750words server forever. In the absence of real encryption for entries, how about adding the ability to delete a month’s text once you’ve exported it? You could still keep the stats and points, and just remove the content.

Thanks for the site, it’s the most essential app that I’ve discovered this year!

I’m still figuring out the best way to use my 750 words – brain dump, therapist, stream-of-consciousness – every day brings something new, it seems. I love it!

Thank you.

I love the badges. just another cool little motivational trick that I think is fantastic. Just wondering actually. What are the requirements for the Speedy Typist Badge? (Heck, while I’m at it, how about the “Undistractible” requirements as well.)

I initially came across 750words on Twitter – and it has quickly become my favorite (or one of my favorite) parts of my day. Even if I don’t have much to write about – just unloading whatever is in my brain is a great release. I love the stats, checking on my typing speed (such as it is) and just the general opportunity to do something I enjoy every morning.
Also, I am positively giddy about getting my albatross tag today!
Keep up the good work!

One of my best friends and I were talking over dinner about how to overcome various creative blocks, and our frustration with ourselves about quitting on good creative habits. A few days later, as if in answer to this discussion, 750words.com came across my Twitter stream and I’ve been writing every day since.

This is notable in the fact of it, and also in the ease (so far). The simple tracking mechanisms and intriguing stats give me the impetus to keep the streak going in ways that writing in a notebook never have. I’m not sure what that says about me, but at this point I’m just delighted that it works.

This site is soooo much better (and cheaper) than a therapist. Keep it up!

I’d just decided to commit to daily writing to work through a career issue (and hopefully unlock some creativity) when I heard about 750words.com. I love the simplicity, security and statisitcs that are a part of using 750words.com. This has been really fulfilling for me, so when I heard that dontaions were welcomed to help keep the site going, it was a no-brainer! I’m getting lots more out of the site than the $ I put into it.

What I love about 750 Words: (1) I get to indulge my right brain creativity and then wake up my left brain with charts & statistics about what I just wrote. (2) It’s like a coffee shop that I get to take with me wherever I tote my Macbook and there’s wifi, even on the patio in my jammies. (3) It offers privacy and solitude with a smidgeon of community. And that’s just the first three things that come to mind.

“Value given for value received,” said my college professor when defining marketing.

Nine days ago I discovered 750Words.com and thought, “This is cool.” By the fourth day I said, “This is going to be a valuable tool to help me sort through emotions, situations, relationships, goals—all sorts of things.”

Making a donation was simple—I just put my money where I was getting value! My prof was right.

Thanks, Buster.

Not only has writing every day dramatically improved my grades, but it’s also helped me finally flesh out all the project ideas that were stuck in my head.

Thanks, Buster!

I love 826 Seattle. It’s the Seattle branch of a great organization that helps improve the written communication skills of youth. Also, each of their centers doubles as a store of some sort. In Seattle it’s a Space Travel stores. Other cities have Super Hero stores, Pirate stores, etc. Check them out.

What happens when I write a long note?

The key to getting a long streak going is to do the writing in the morning.

I just need a to cover the cost of the actual certificate, which is about $125/year.

Something involving cups, and notes, and lots of random capitalization. It made sense in my dream.

I made this site. I really like it, actually.
