750 Words is the first time in my life I’ve been able to consistently journal on a daily basis. It now feels as necessary and helpful as exercising and eating vegetables. Something about 750 Words just _works in a way that my 20 years of previous attempts haven’t.

Mostly, I’m too busy dumping my thoughts to care about the text analysis anymore, but sometimes I like to see how accurate or inaccurate my analysis is. Sure, let’s see how you can improve upon this? Make it more accurate.

I’d love to be able to write on my phone. I don’t think it needs to be very fancy, just word count and connected to my account.

This is more of a membership feature. Instead of a monthly subscription, can I get temp access for a week that expires – and may be pay $2 only. The thing is I use 750 words once in a while and it is very critical in those times that I write out to help the jumble of thoughts in my own head fade away. It is like a therapy session I need rarely. But having temp access is super useful!

I love how minimalist the site is. Regardless of so many suggestions, if there’s any design changes to this marvellous site, there’ll be an uproar about it. In the words of Nat King Cole, “Stay as sweet as you are”!

I have used 750words to jumpstart two books, one back in 2010 and one this year. The monthly challenge is a great way to get a first draft done, to be refined later. More recently I’ve been using it the way it was intended – to write more in a diary-like fashion to clear my mind and my soul. I am even looking forward, every morning, to getting up early and write! Thank you Buster and Kellianne for all your work on this, and forgiving us this wonderful tool.

26 day streak, I was on my way to completing my first month, then I had heart failure, and have ended up in hospital for cardiac interventions. So disappointed, guess I’ll have to wait until the September Challenge to start again. I have really enjoyed the commitment and the monthly challenge provdes and the establishment of a regular writing habit. 3 blog posts evolved from my meanderings, which is even better as I hadn’t written one for several months

Well, it’s the 2nd day of the month and my name is already on the Wall of Shame! Seems like I get busy with my day, might even write 4 or 500 words in the morning intending to get back to it by midnight. Then life takes over and I forget to go back to it. Thanks for having this site. At least I have the ability to track what I’m doing and see how much I need to work at my consistency. I’m going to keep on trying to do 30 days!

I love this site because even though it’s meant to be used every day, I don’t feel pressured to use it every day, and when I do come to use it it helps me to clear my mind so well. Often times I’ll find that I have a jumble of thoughts in my head and I can’t really separate them well, but having somewhere to put them down quickly makes the rest of my day so much better. Thank you!

First full month! I may not do it again or I may persevere; in any case this site is a peaceful and joyful place that I cherish, and I am deeply grateful to those who created it and those who have contributed every day to its vitality.

I love that I have been consistently doing this for 308 days and I just love the badges. I feel like a girl scout again getting these badges for accomplishments. I am thankful for this site and proud to be a member. I just went over my 250,000 words today and look forward to getting my double flock badge. It’s great fun, I love being able to go back and read past thoughts and the privacy aspect. Excellent site. Happy to be here.

This site is amazing! I’ve kept a journal for 45 years, but this site helps me to make and track writing goals. I’ve acquired a good many badges in the years I’ve used 750words, but the badges just keep me focused on goals – the real value is in the consistent writing. I’ve recently re-set a goal to write at least 1,000 words a day for 500 days in a row. The last time I set this goal, I got close to 400 days before life interfered.

I love the badges! They are very motivating for me.

750 Words has helped me cope with my issues with my family and work. I now find that there is more clarity when I go back to tackle my problems and better articulate my ideas.

once again, 750 words has got me through events that would have blocked my path and sent me into a spiralling depression , not really relieved by chocolate- you have helped me keep faith with myself and my goals.I couldn’t have done it without you – Thank you!

More privacy, more better. :)

Currently exporting concatenates an entire month’s of writing into one text file.
I suggest a feature where the downloader bundles the month into a tar (or zip) archive where each day’s entry is a file with an appropriate timestamp even for that day/month/year.

What do you say? I can help you make it. I’m very fluent with node.js, linux, java, c++, postgres, mongodb… not sure what you have back there but I’ll help you out with that.

Howdy!

I know y’all don’t want to have a formatting bar, which I totally agree with because the simple nature of the layout is what makes the website so great. However, I write quite a lot and being able to format my text seamlessly while I do so would be such a great addition.

I propose that you give 750 words the ability to bold or italicize a word by using key board shortcuts, in the same way you can force-save using keyboard shortcuts. So we could just hit command + i to enter and exit italics mode.

I know you have markup enabled, but for people who type stream-of-conscious style and like to quickly format without pausing their thoughts, it would be an amazing feature.

Having a solid daily goal has greatly increased my writing average, and has helped me move toward some long-standing goals of mine.

Journaling has been something that my therapist had tried to get me to do for about two years now – something that I’ve started and stopped with minimal success. I’m so glad that I rediscovered my 750words account. Typing it in on this site, for some reason, makes journaling so much easier. And not just easier, but also therapeutic too.

This site is the best.

Hello there! Has anyone made the two million mark yet in words? I ask because I am getting closer (thanks Camp NaNoWriMo!) so is it possible to get a 2 million word badge? Thanks!

750words is my best friend. Better than hoisting a few brews with the guys, is the camaraderie i an obtain with myself, being honest with myself. I am becoming better company to me. There is nothing more powerful than not needing the presence of another to be happy and whole.
