The Friends & Members of 750 Words

It would be a treat for some of us who are over-achievers and those of us who simply want to do more to be able to increase our word count goal. Being able to set my goal to 1,000 words, 1,250 words or 1,500 words — certainly no fewer than 750 words — would provide additional ways to challenge myself. While I’m free to write as much as I want, there’s something in the psychology of hitting that “done” space at 750 that makes it difficult for me to tack on another 250 words.

And just think of all the new badge opportunities this will open up!

I’ve recently reached one million words. An incredible milestone and one I wouldn’t have reached without 750 words. It’s the place I can come to clear my head or write stories.
Thank you for a wonderful site.

I’ve used the Morning Pages off and on for decades; I have stacks of moldy notebooks in heavy boxes in my garage dating back to the 1990s that have moved from Texas to Washington, to Minnesota, to California. Writing every day helps me focus on thoughts, feelings, fantasies, and hopes that otherwise would remain unarticulated in the dusty corners of my mind. What I love specifically about 750Words.com is that I can do it anywhere, anytime without worrying about paper or a pen; I like that I can go back and reread if I feel like it, and I can tweet when I’ve done my words for the day. I’m grateful that it’s password protected, so I don’t worry about someone else reading my intimate ideas. As a mental health therapist, 750Words.com is a mainstay of my self care plan; I also recommend it to my clients. I rarely fill an entire month of green Xs, but when I do, I feel incredibly good about myself.

I have heard from other writers on this site, realizing I am not alone; that is encouraging. The site is easy to use and motivates me to write. It is like exercising, staying on schedule and following the routine is key.

My biggest concern about using anything internet based is the potential for misusing or abusing my content. This is a limiting factor in creative expression.

It would be very useful if we could track more than just 2 items in our metadata. Those stats are a very important feature for me. I’d love to track 5 items!
Maybe you could make this feature open only to patrons, an extra perk for helping you keep this amazing platform going.

Thanks for reading

I’d be happy to pay more per month for the peace of mind a secure server would offer. If 750 is really supposed to function as a brain dump, I’d feel less inhibited in my writing knowing that my emotional innards were better protected from hacking.

A little bit ago, I earned my 1 Million Words badge. Wow. That is a lot of complaining, shopping lists, clearing my brain, blog posts, gearing up, assessing problems, sorting things out and dragging my way through getting started.

The fruits of doing the clickety-clack on the keyboard: my book comes out today! It’s a humor book for dads called Man Vs. Child: One Dad’s Guide to the Weirdness of Parenting published by Abrams. I hope some of you will check it out.

I started using the site years ago, in a stop and start manner. But at some point it has become a ritual and a habit and I noticed that when I used the site, I tended to write. When I didn’t use it, I didn’t write. Like, really write. So whether that’s causation or correlation, it always feels worth it to keep the streak up. Simple enough, but if I concentrate on just “getting started,” and clear my brain here, I can keep writing. Thanks Buster and Kelly!

A year ago I decided I was going to write a book about my life in the emergency services. 344 days ago I discovered 750words and used it as a way to keep me on track with my book, and also as a journal. Proud to say that the book has been picked up by Penguin Random House and I submitted my completed manuscript yesterday. The discipline of writing something every day helped me get the book across the line as well as giving me a place to journal the good and bad. Thank you for this amazing site! Dave

I need the peace of mind from knowing that other people cannot intercept my entries when they are being sent to the site. I hope you really implement this soon. Thanks :)

All I can say is that this site has helped me stay on track and to write every day. While it may be hard to do so, putting black on white, pen to paper, is the only way that I will every get this story out of my head.

Looking for a space where the wandering mind can express itself and i have found at 750words. My ever alert, ever thinking and dreaming brain needed an outlet in which to just be and just get writing. No limits, no rules, no guide lines or guide books just plain writing practice.
Just go one word after the other. We are all in it together we write and we explore and somehow we know this is what we always were looking for. A home for free expression, the words that just are, unedited, uncensured, unstructured and not judged. They exist as individual entities of expression and they give freedom and space for us all to just come and be together for a time in our journey of writing

Well I have taken a very long break from 750 words.com. Life has got in the way, but there is always a way back, the pull to write every day and chronicle my thoughts and feelings without pressure if I break my streak or not, it doesn’t really matter, the main thing is that I am writing. It feels good to be writing again and this time I will be more gentle with myself and not get bogged down with guilt if I didn’t write on a particular day for whatever reason.
It’s still a great website. Once I am in the habit of writing every time, kind of in the groove, things will flow.

Thanks for a great website, Buster and Kellly

I’d be willing to pay more monthly for a secure server (and peace of mind).

This is my donation for failing to complete the monthly challenge… I totally forgot on the last day and despite being frustrating a deal is a deal.

I use my phone a lot and love writing on it. This would be an amazing feature to have

I’d like a gentle and persistant reminder to write on my mobile and email. If that already exists and I just havnt found it – please redesign the site to make it a bit more obvious! Thanks.

The home page and in fact all the pages could do with being a little more intuitive and signposted. Log in needs a little light detective work to be found. Joining is hidden in plain view! Have a big happy button!

It would be lovely if there was a personal dictionary to keep track of an individual’s made up or uncommon words and names, as in Google Docs, so that they are not always counted as incorrect and might even be acknowledged by the word counter.

Thank you for this wonderful website!
