Just being able to write on the go, with any device, anywhere.

750 words is a great site. I’ve been having trouble in my life and finding ways to stop bad and negative thoughts from entering my mind so I audio type and paraphrase sermons on here. I am very forgetful so doing so every day does I think help me to think on the Word despite my own spiritual weaknesses which I’m dealing with every day.

Hi can anyone tell me how you follow people and what that means? What do you follow?

Thanks!

This has helped me open up and be less afraid of my own thoughts, feelings and emotions when it comes to writing things down. I’m glad I have the chance to still use it. Thanks to NANOWRIMO and Buster and Kellianne for showing me this website to express myself and my words.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, the ability to import a photo into a daily entry would clearly help everyone exceed their 750 word goal by at least 250 words. Right? Heeheehee. I am a photographer and hardly a day goes by that I don’t snap a photo of something that is going on in my life. Several times in my 753 day streak, I’ve longed for the ability to include a photo in my entry. Before I became a dedicated “750 Words” convert, I would frequently tape a photo in my journal and write about it. I’d love to be able to do that same thing electornically within my daily entry. Just one photo per day. I’m not even talking the ability to include multiple photos per day. I’d settle for just a single photo that I could copy and paste into my entry. Here’s an example of how I’d use this application: tomorrow my youngest starts kindergarden and today we spent a special day together while her sisters were at school (kindergarteners in our district start a few days later than the older kids). My entire entry today was about her and my sadness and joy about her marching off to school tomorrow. I’d love to have included a single shot from our day to serve as a focal point for my writing as well as captures the essence of my day. Just a suggestion from a wordy photographer. Thank you for your consideration of my suggestion. Be well.

I’ve been using 750words for over 1000 days. I’m gutted because one day 431 days ago I lost my streak. :( But I started again and just the other day reached the 1 million words mark! I love using 750words. It clears my mind and helps me to think with more clarity during the day. Keep up the good work!

Hi. Just wondered if there was going to be a badge for 2 million words? I can’t believe I have written over 800,000 words this year already! which means I’ll be crossing the 2 million mark pretty soon! Also how about a 1500 day streak and 2000 day streak etc. I am now at 1454 days! Very excited about this!! Any other new badges would be welcomed. I love the challenge of picking them off :) Thanks so much for all you do to keep us motivated :) Peace & Love, Holly M. <><

It’s mornings like this one, where the conditions are just right, and I finally feel safe mentally and that I have enough space to come back to my words that I really appreciate it. When the stress takes me, it’s hard to see that I have always known that getting the words out of my head can probably help to make it an easier ride. I don’t always remember that as quickly, though. And so, on the randomly perfect morning when the stars align and I have enough willpower from what has been drained of me by my problems to sit down and face myself through writing my thoughts, I suddenly feel the sense of happiness, reality, and calm that I have been without for however long. Sometimes a few days. Sometimes a couple of weeks. I just know that once I come back to it, that I always feel good again and that taking time to say the things I have swimming in my head out loud to these pages leaves me with less to be ashamed of than I probably thought for the time just spent stressing out.

My name is Squeakypizza and I have adhd, major depression, and anxiety. I don’t tolerate stress well and it affects me easily. I enjoy writing almost, as much as, or more than 750 words to help manage how I’m feeling so that I can more easily remember that I’m not as terrible of a person as I tend to think I am and that life is a lot easier than I tend to make it out to be. I have infinite gratitude for this website’s existence. Thank you.

Over the years I’ve tried, on and off, doing morning pages. This works better for me. A little over two months in and already I can’t imagine missing a day. It’s like air and sunlight now. Not a luxury. A human necessity, which brings me closer to myself every day and reminds me of my place in the world. It also helps me write (duh). I’ve been able to make progress in my creative writing that wasn’t possible before discovering 750words. Thanks guys.

This site is my “GO TO” when life is crazy. I not only DUMP my drama here first, but i also use it to create, to reflect, and to brainstorm solutions to all the dilemmas in my busy world. I love it’s simplicity and that it is always here to hold me accountable to my goals. Thank you, and Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

I started long ago but couldn’t find the focus and energy to write daily but over the years I seem to have found what I was looking for! This is now my safe haven of getting thoughts from head to ‘paper’ My daily 750+ words are like taking a daily supplement of vitamins but for my mind! Thank you so much! All the best to all you 750worders out there! Keep on writing!

750 Words has been a crucial part of my daily self-reflection and is a key part in growth as an individual. It helps me get my emotions out on paper where I can examine them critically. The badges were helpful in getting hooked into this habit. I hope to keep this streak up. Thank you guys for this website!

Two of the short stories I’ve written since starting 750 words have been published. On a 116 day streak now, I’ve found my writing has improved every day that I’ve spent here. I usually use it more as a mind-dump than a motivator to work on fiction, but it’s precisely that mind-dump that allows me to work on said fiction when I’m done. With all of this world’s worries left on the page, I can dive headfirst into the worlds I’m crafting in my mind, with no hesitation or distractions from stray thoughts. It really is amazing. Plus, this site introduced me to The Artist’s Way, which I completed three weeks ago and really got my creative juices pumping. I approach everything in totally new ways, and I can’t wait to report to the page every day before I start my work. Thank you Kelianne and Buster, for your wonderful site, the badges that encourage me never to miss a day, and the introduction to the book that saved my life and started my career.

This site is already lovely, and it’s possible someone else has already suggest this. But it would be cool if, in addition to the standard 750-word goal, we could set personal challenges. So, for example, if I needed extra motivation to hit a deadline for, say, a conference paper, then I could set a one-week goal of 1500 words per day (or whatever). In addition to checking off the 750-word goal, the bottom corner of the screen could also display my progress to the personal challenge.

Twenty one days ago the island I live on (pop 900) lost internet. I went from being a pterodactyl to an egg through no fault of my own.
Last time I broke a streak the disappointment stopped me writing for months. This time (as soon as internet was restored) I started right back again.
I think I’ve learned something.
I love the badges. The community. But at the end of the day – its all about the writing.
Thank you Kellianne and Buster.

A range of editing features.

In many ways. Here’s a few which are important to me.

I am more organized as I list things I have to do – especially paperwork.

I read, think and write about spiritual matters I haven’t explored before.

Thank you.

Monthly statistics would help you understand your mind better. This way you can understand how your mindset has shifted. So we can improve and appreciate our thought process.

Feel free to comment.

I’d love to see an option where we could choose to share our writings, or specific writings with friends or people we follow/following us. Nothing required, I know people enjoy the anonymity here…but the option of get feedback or just sharing our thoughts. What do you all think?

Thank you for helping me start a new morning ritual writing practice. Despite not being a writer or having any prolific insights that should be read by any human being, I’ve been enjoying the process. Perhaps one day something will come it!

I’m often away from internet for 1-5 days in a row. I’d like to be able to keep writing (and keep my streak going) during those days.

Option 1 (technically easier): User requests an offline block in advance (to prevent ex post facto abuse), say of 3 days. Then the day after that block, the user uploads or copy-pastes the text they wrote offline.

Option 2: Build an offline web app that extends the site to this use case.

By the way, I’m happy to help build these things! I’d happily trade code for membership.
