The Friends & Members of 750 Words
750 Words exists because of mutual good will between the people that run this site (Buster & Kellianne) and the people who use it (you). The site wouldn't exist without the generosity, patience, and humor of everyone involved. For the first 3+ years that the site was running (Dec 2009 to May 2013), the site was free to use but with some encouragement to donate. That served us well (and most importantly, generated enough income to keep the site up), but as the site grew the need for support also grew.
On June 12th 2013, all existing users of the site were given lifetime free accounts (we hope you'll continue to donate when you can). New accounts created after June 12th, 2013 are now required to become members within 30 days after signing up in order to keep writing. Everyone will always have access to previous writings, stats, etc, even if they choose not to become members.
We're listening to your feedback and want to make sure that first and foremost, we offer a friendly and safe place for people to dump their private thoughts. I expect that we'll continue to adjust the way this all works for the near term. Thanks for being an awesome community!

Notes of inspiration from members![]() I like the stats feature because it gives me that feeling of someone else seeing my writing without actually having to share it with anyone else. :)
Testimonial Note from Colin Barrett on Sun, Jan 30

Testimonial Note from Anonymous on Thu, Jan 27
![]() Would love to see how today’s text compares to my past text analysis (for example, am I growing increasingly more positive? am I mentioning a specific word more often? and so on)
New Feature Vote from Michaela Kerem on Thu, Jan 27
![]() Easier text formatting

New Feature Vote from Annette G on Tue, Jan 25
![]() There really is no replacement for this site! I’ve been using 750words on and off for a long time. Sometimes I told myself I’d better just type it all on a word document instead… and end up quitting writing altogether until I come back here. There’s something to this site that always brings me back. You help me get things off my chest, get my ideas straight, and give me an excuse to transcribe my manuscript journal so my memories aren’t lost to time if I ever lose that little notebook. Not to mention you’ve taught me how far a little work each day will get you. I went over 80k words some time ago – enough to fill a book – just by writing whatever came to my mind for half an hour each day! Whether it’s the challenge to maintain the streak or that next shiny badge, you keep me writing. And that’s all that matters!
Testimonial Note from Anonymous on Thu, Jan 20
![]() I blew it yesterday and didn’t copy and past in the project I worked on all afternoon, therefore I’ve lost my streak, again. Here are all my cups. I’ll start again today.
Testimonial Note from Anonymous on Wed, Jan 19
![]() I am back here after a break of several years. And I trusted that if I kept showing up, then I would start to find useful things to write about lurking in my brain, not just moans. And after about two weeks of doing it consistently, as well as taking a walk every day, it’s starting to happen. Keep the faith!
Testimonial Note from Louise Marston on Tue, Jan 18
![]() I started writing here back in 2012 when I was a lonely undergraduate student interning in DC. I have written here sporadically over the years, but my most recent stint, beginning in the summer of this year, has been my most consistent and longest period of writing so far. I really appreciate how this site has given me a space to process emotions, reflect on my experiences, and puzzle through work issues. I write every morning now and it is my favorite time of day. Thank you!
Testimonial Note from Sam Smith on Fri, Jan 14
![]() I started using 750 words again after a multiple-year gap and I’ve found it incredibly helpful in the following ways: 1) fights the perfectionism with minimalist design, 2) prevents editing on past days so I can focus on the present, 3) metrics that I can track over time for comparing symptoms such as mood or anxiety and word analytics that helps me assess my state of being, common themes, thinking traps, and emotions (no other site or app offers this feature.) After years of silence, I am finally finding my voice. Thank you from the bottom of my cup <3
Testimonial Note from Sara Maximus on Thu, Jan 13
![]() The results of your writting are only available to see day by day, it would be great if we could have a summarize by a range of dates, or month to date, or weekly. I refer to the stats that show the words that most is used, the feelings while writing, etc….
New Feature Request Note from Michel C Machado on Wed, Jan 12
![]() It’s been 8 years, 5 states, 2 kids, and a cat since I discovered this incredible site + community. And although I haven’t been writing consistently that entire time, 750 words is always something I come back to when I need space to sort myself out. Thank you Kellianne and Buster for all you have done and continue to do. Cheers!
Testimonial Note from Annerz on Mon, Jan 10
![]() Sometimes I wish the writing page had a margin on BOTH sides: left and right.
New Feature Vote from Toni Merflag on Sun, Jan 09
![]() One of the things I love about 750words is starting with a blank sheet. No judgement, no prior expectations, doesn’t matter how long it’s been since I last wrote, it’s there – ready and waiting and welcoming.
Testimonial Note from Paraic Bergin on Sat, Jan 08
![]() It’s given me a quiet space at the end of busy days to sit down and clear my thoughts, and get back in the habit of writing after falling out of it. I can write about what I’ve read, done, or start sketching out drafts of stories, and just knowing that that’s waiting for me before I go to bed means I’m much more settled for my next day. Thank you!
Testimonial Note from Freya Sacksen on Fri, Jan 07
![]() Wishing Buster, Kellianne and all my fellow writers a happy new year!
Testimonial Note from Ingeborg Kooiman on Thu, Jan 06
![]() I’ve been using this site on and off for ten years, and I can’t speak highly enough of it. As a place for clearing your mind, starting blogs, developing ideas… it’s unparalleled. It helps that Buster and Kellianne are so helpful too and obviously care about the site.
Testimonial Note from J. J. Knowles on Thu, Jan 06
![]() It is actually difficult to to state in few words how 750 words has helped me. Any writer who is worth that name should be on 750words.com. It is amazing how joining has turned my laziness in writing to 16
Testimonial Note from OLAGOLDEN SEMIYU on Wed, Jan 05
![]() Hi – I have been using another journaling tool for some time, and would like to be able to upload my old posts so that I can see the stats (like text analysis…I realise that streaks could not be part of this!) and easily look back at these entries to see how I have grown
New Feature Request Note from Adam Murray on Tue, Jan 04
![]() I am eternally grateful for this site as a safe place to land this past year.
Testimonial Note from Rachel on Mon, Jan 03
![]() I would love rich text formatting options with many more font and paragraph choices. Fonts, colors, bullets, etc. Thank you!
New Feature Vote from Kara Ryan on Mon, Jan 03
![]() i find it easier and easier to see my moods, what makes me have a good day, and how writing every day gets all the gunk out of my head. Thank you so much 750Words!
Testimonial Note from Mazarine on Sun, Jan 02
![]() Happy New Year!
Testimonial Note from Evelyn Marentette on Sun, Jan 02
![]() The last time I got a badge was last July!
New Feature Request Note from Michael Wayne Cole on Sun, Jan 02
![]() Who has two thumbs and missed her words for the December challenge on December 30th?? This gal! Seriously grateful to this site and those who produce/maintain it, seriously grateful for the accountability, motivation, and freedom it provides as well. On this first day of 2022 let’s ALL raise a cuppa to this crew!
Testimonial Note from Jeannel King on Sat, Jan 01
![]() wondering could there be an offer of Patronage/Membership for long serving members (after serving a period of time decided by the owners of 750words.com).
New Feature Request Note from Ms. T on Sat, Jan 01
![]() 750words has been a background score to my life for over 10 years now. It helped me cope with bad days in college and through my 20’s. During the pandemic, I finally started to actually get more consistent about writing here and it helped me cope. This was my solace in this uncertain time. Thank you Buster and Kelliane – you gave me a space to record my triumphs and disasters and find the strength to treat those two imposters just the same. To everyone else using this site, thank you for your notes of inspiration – it helped me see that there are kindred spirits out there.
Testimonial Note from Dhiya Sadanandan on Fri, Dec 31
![]() This site allows me to settle my mind before the serious working of writing begins. I am back after almost a year away. I know that my return will bring more focus and productivity.
