I wish I had a thousand cups to use, since that is how many days in a row I have written now. How fun to see that flying squirrel badge when I finished my words! Thanks so much to this site, for the blank pages there for me to fill every day, and keeping me inspired to get on here and fill them. It is the best therapy ever, and at $5 a month, a great investment! Cheers to all the other writers out there—keep it up!

Thank you. :-)
I have been a writer (specifically a Technical Writer) for my entire career, but I’ve always wanted to take time to write for Fun, for Ideas, for Me.
Now I finally have a place to do that.
Thank you.

750 words has given me a space to dump my thoughts, clear the clutter, and get ideas OUT of my head and into real (and sometimes organized) words. I use this forum to clear space so that I can write story ideas without being bogged down by the crazy life that I live (and love).

I have just finished my first month of writing every single day AND my first novel. I am so grateful to this site for helping have the focus I needed to finish the second half of my novel in 1/16 of the time it took me to finish the first half.

I’ve been a member and fan since 2010 and often recommend the site to friends and colleagues, yet it’s only today that I noticed this feature: Note of Inspiration.

My note is one of gratitude to the site’s maintainers. Having a safe and reliable place to come share my most personal thoughts, poems, and ideas for future writing projects is such a comfort.

I’m humbled to learn that during the month of October I’ve reached the highest rank here.

Yes, I’m officially a Flying Squirrel now! :)

Wow, still it’s unbelievable. When i tell about it to people around they think i’m a maniac because it really sounds weird that you dedicated so much time for the activity that is not seen to anyone :)

But this unseen activity has turned me into a habitual writer who can’t miss a single day without writing at least 3 pages of random stuff that clears the mind, sets up the tone for new posts and articles, starts poems, and does so many things to unleash the creative potential in me and let it run wild :)

I’m so thankful to Kellianne that despite her busyness with the newborn she was able to assist me and fix my streak when I posted from the phone and apparently that entry wasn’t saved. And that other time – when i was short by two words – even though I could swear I saw that i reached 750 words – I guess it again had something to do with the saving option.

She was generous and quick with resolving the issue restoring my streak and my faith to humanity…

Buster and Kellianne – you’re a fantastic team and your family sets an example for me. I also want to get engaged into something meaningful and fun while serving people. And I’m on the search for that meaning…

For the first time in 6 years, I have been writing non stop for 30 days ! I love it, I don’t want to stop anymore, thanks a lot for your work !

I’ve been a member of 750 Words since 2013, and it’s only within this year that I’ve managed to use it as a way to finish writing the draft of a novel I’ve been working on for about two years now. I’ve lately been using it as a way to keep track of the edits I’ve done on said novel, and I don’t know how I managed to write a sizable amount before committing to the monthly challenges. Thanks, 750! I’ll definitely mention you in the acknowledgements if I get this thing published.

I stumbled upon 750 words around the time I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Intercranial Hypertension. It has been a trusty companion while waiting in many hospital waiting rooms and for the shirt time I was admitted. I use it to log my emotions almost daily, my medical journey, my motherhood adventures and my all to common migraines. I am open and honest with my partner, but I have always leaned towards writing. Having the option to be so free with my writing has been liberating. I feel hostage to my body, but free in mind. Thank you 750words.com.

I’m feeling grateful! I learned about 750 words on retreat at Esalen last month. It reflected a desire I’ve had to get back into my Morning Pages practice after ~8 years hiatus. This was just what I needed. I’m happy to report that now I wake up, and the first thing I do is write my pages. Voila. Magic. I’m using the platform to meet my intention of becoming more facile with words, and re-learning to express, rather than suppressing my feelings. THANK YOU. I’m grateful for 750 words.

Well after a very long break, I’m back on the boat again, finding how grounding it is to write every day no matter what, there is comfort in writing just for the sake of writing. Clears the mind and the heart too.

750 words are my new meditation mornings sections as it clarifies me and has helped to find a lot of answers in my life that help me to know my self more accurately and deep.

I’ve missed one day since I started over two months ago. Now, I can’t imagine going a day without taking an inventory of the previous day and using the results to make the next day better. If you’re just starting out, give it everything you’ve got. It’s the cheapest and most effective therapy in the world. If you’re at the end of the free trial and you’re wondering if you should become a full member, all I can say a month is cheaper than a burger and fries and it’s so, so much better for you!

Hi, I am requesting more features: italics, bold, underline, etc. Please add this functionality because it would totally spice up the editor. Otherwise everything’s great. Love the analysis of the text I write, etc. Wonderful.

2 cups

Add italics, bolds, underlines, page breaks, and more to the writing page.

I have decided that I am going to stop writing here for a while. I actually scheduled, in my planner, a three-month break, but I may pop in from time to time before then. It was turning into a slog, which just kept getting worse, so break it is.

I have loved keeping my streak, and maybe I’ll get this far again, but there is too much going on away from my computer right now, and writing on my phone or pad is difficult.

This has been a great place to just get the babble out, sometimes to work out an issue, sometimes to just find my feelings.

Thank you so much for this place. I will be back.

After almost 4 1/2 years, a 1585 day streak (sprinkled with a few days off when I was unable to write), it’s sadly time to say goodbye. As the old proverb goes, “There is an end to everything, to good things as well.” A new season of writing awaits.

My immense and sincere heartfelt thanks to Buster and Kellianne for this place. I’ve written through immense highs and heart-breaking lows during my time here. Looking back, I’m able to see that providing words to my emotions, across the broad spectrum, was therapeutic in ways that I couldn’t have imagined when I began this journey. I had never been able to keep a consistent writing habit until 750 Words. I remain convinced that I developed a series of new habits and life change from showing up here each day. With that, I’ll simply sum up by stating that I’m so incredibly thankful for my time here. All the best to those of you who are continuing the journey to the next badge and beyond!

I started writing 750 words when I went through a horrible break up. In a way, it’s more cathartic than physically writing a journal because unless someone has access to my computer, I know no one can see it. I’ve written things here I would never physically write and from that, I have really been able to see myself in a way I never have before. 750 words has consistently helped me heal and learn to fall in love with the person who needed it most… myself.

I am always mobile so a quick verbal note translates into writing prompts for me.

Buried in the month’s statistics is a line that says “You’ve completed x% of the days since joining.” More than length-of-streak, this is the statistic that i want to be working to improve. Is there a place for it on today’s stats?
I’m terrible at doing anything every day. But as my friends note when i tell them that, i have been doing my words For a Long Time, if not Every Day. That means it’s a habit. Hopefully it’s one i can incrementally increase; i think this feedback would help.

Have been dabbling with writing since my teens and have promised to make it into a daily habit – forty years down the road I have found a tool that has kept me on the straight and narrow, ie, writing daily, well almost. Have written 28 out of the 29 I am into my trial. And, my day off: I was travelling across time zones and things just didn’t work our with internet connections. Thanks 750words-

I would love to double space. lIt is easier on the eyes and it also would allow me to edit my work on the same day i typed it. It should not be too hard to effectuate

I’m thankful for this site. I was encouraged by Tara-Nicholle of DWC to sign up and write to not only clear one mind but also as a motivation to write that novel, idea or challenge one’s creative ability. Coming to this site did just that on many levels. Thank you for being here. I will be back more often to write and allow my creative side to blossom.

I think if I hadn’t joined this site, mentally I would have thrown in the towel by now. My husband is gone a lot on the ship, and my friends are not always the most effective support system. Without being able to write everyday and tell myself to keep moving forward and I cannot change other people – I would have fallen into the same trap I used to – fixing everyone else. This place gives me a space to be mentally healthy and also practice writing for my blog, so I can practice to eventually write a book. I have gotten so many great ideas in this space, and let off so much steam. I got my husband to join and he’s enjoyed it as well.

I’ve always struggled writing. It’s not something I enjoyed doing for school or work. I’d like to consistently blog, but I’m not there yet. 750 Words has given me the motivation to write more consistently. I hope this practice will allow me to publish more frequently. I’ve already seen results in an improvement in my writing.
