The horse is the first Month Challenge, after 2 months you get a different badge, 3 months without stopping etc up to 12 months.

Extra badges in general are good though, they really keep me going, I’m actually worried that after my 100 day badge I will have no more badges to aim for until the 250. I’m worried that I will just stop. The one thing I’ve figured out about myself during this process is that I’m really a stick and carrot person and need something to aim for. A lot of those who have written seem to feel this way. More Badges please!!!!

750 words helps me with my productivity! I plan my next day at night, have a daily template I paste in in the morning, and write when I need to get myself back on track… or when I need to plan a project… or when I want to record kudos. So many useful things!

750words, I love you more than words can express. I am getting better at wordly expression though, thanks to you. I have begun a very brave/scary thing, and it’s only thanks to this site that I have been able to consciously process my emotions enough to know what I need to do.

The process is so simple, and this site is so simple, deceptively so. It has exactly what I need and nothing more to distract.

This morning I noticed that I haven’t felt motivated to do my words this past week—I am on a 72-day streak and prior to this I felt very motivated every day. They were a highlight for me, and lately it has felt like more of a burden. When I sat down to write anyway (almost 100% to see that streak continue, so thanks for the motivation!), I got out a lot of stuff that has been scaring me. It’s been an embarrassingly slow process to get this all figured out, but there is no room for judgment here and that’s been so positive. When I was finished, I felt so much better, and I realized that is true every single time I write my words, regardless of my state of mind when I begin. Sometimes I cry when I didn’t think I needed to. Sometimes I work through exactly what I intend to. But every single time, it helps me to see more clearly and to feel relief.

I also realize that this is not just the site but that the practice has actually helped ME to become the agent of these positive changes. Since starting on this site a few months ago, I have had an easier time identifying, labelling and dealing with my emotions. I hadn’t even realized before just how difficult this used to be for me.

It doesn’t begin to cover the depth of my gratitude, but thank you for existing. Please continue to do so for as long as possible. <3

After 7 or so years of daily journalling and almost 2 million words, I have finally completed the 30 day challenge. This daily ritual has transformed my life, and I am so very grateful to the leaders and the community for the comfort and clarity that this 15 minutes brings to every day of my life!

I have been using this site on and off since it launched. I switched to manual morning pages for awhile, which I loved; but due to hand injuries had to come back to typing and I’m so grateful 750words is here! I would be lost without my daily practice of typing out what’s on my mind. I’ve come to so many realizations, written so many poems, and gone so many times from triggered and upset to calm because of this practice. Thank you 750words!

750 words has given me a push toward more regular writing. Though most of it has been freeflow, I have also found my words and direction of thought for some of the jobs I have come more easily when I start here. I will be going for carpal tunnel surgery and I think 750 words will be great for getting things functioning again afterward.

I went through a very sudden, very painful divorce at the end of 2017. I was writing on a paper journal, but struggled to find it. Also, my thoughts flow faster than I can write. I discovered 750 words and have found it to be so freeing. I even have written a bit of crappy poetry! I want to get to a point where I am using it LESS for my emotional brain dump and where I can start writing creatively. I think I am almost there!

I have become accustomed to writing every single day at the same time! Thanks for helping me write out my thoughts. It’s a good exercise.

I would love to see a writing prompt page or even a monthly separate to the already monthly challenge that gives all writers a topic that is set and written by all

Thank you for this website. It’s clear, simple and easy to understand. I am very grateful. It helped me to clear my mind and develop positive thinking. Special thanks to its creators.

Will there ever be another life membership awarded again…? Maybe a goal to reach a certain amount of postings and then a life membership used as a reward

Thank you for making this available. I love the “grass roots” and organic feel. Day One of many more! B

It’s not a new feature exactly, but just keep the text box for writing a scrolling text box with the word count visible. This is especially true for iPad and iPhone usage but even for the computer it’s annoying to lose sight of the word count after around 300 words

This site has renewed my love of writing. I write everyday, everywhere, anytime. I should write more words per day, but I don’t worry about that anymore. I take everyday as it comes and I relax about it now. I’m only competing against myself on this site. Ive worked out my creativity through this site and I’m thankful. I have yet to publish anything. I’m sure I will get there someday.

I definitely think an iPad app would be awesome. I write on my iPad every day since I can use my keyboard and just leave the website open so I never forget, but if we had an app (that allows the screen to turn sideways so I can use my keyboard) that would be great! Maybe every morning at a set time it could send a notification to open and write if I haven’t yet that day.

I cannot say enough about how this site has helped me. I have wanted to be a writer but was too afraid to pursue it. After all, I barely passed English in high school many moons ago
But I started the project of 750words a day in keeping with dumping everything in my brain out on to the screen at that point in time. I have been dealing with profound grief and having a very difficult time with it. But writing about it has helped clear my head. I write mainly about that but I have started to move on to other things.
Since I started in January, I have not missed a day. I am excited to sit down and just write whatever comes to my head. I love this site, the meaning behind it and the opportunity to utilize the benefits of it. Thank you, thank you.

Those initial streak badges kept me writing. I’m looking forward to other streak badges. I think it would be fun to look forward to a 50 day badge and a 9 month badge among all the other cool badges. Thanks again for this site!!

Well, I really do not know how to add members. I understand there is a feature where one may share with others .. but it seems to remain buried, awaiting discovery, or a website upgrade!

“WRITE” Button to the Right. Write. Right?
Right at the top of the page, to the right of the “750 Words” title and on the same line, (so above the menu, can we have a nice green rounded-cornered-box with the one word 22-point bold “WRITE” in it? So when we go onto the site, we click on this nice big button and go straight to our daily writing screen. Vola! So simple! So intuitive! So right.. no, so write!

Anyone else find that it’s not easy to view one’s own stats? Let’s vote to make the interface a little more intuitive.

I think having an app can be a very great addition to the already awesome website.

750 words offers a way to express thoughts and feelings without judgement or (self) criticism. It’s pure in the only thing that matters is to write with feeling. forget grammar, forget the audience. you are writing for yourself, as an outlet for negative emotions and a memorial for positive ones. A private library of your thoughts, set free from your mind, leaving your mind free.
