750 has really helped me develop my writing practice. I used to only think i could be a writer and now i am making it happen. Thank you 750words.com! :)

A lot of things have become apparent about my writing style in practice, but more features that may be more unconscious to the writer being tracked and displayed would be helpful, as well as boxes that display tips on how to use less common grammar symbols such as the semi-colon and hyphen.

For those who use the site as a diary, it would be great to be able to post pictures and to save them to the entry! please consider

This site has been a wonderful tool to help me with my writing. Thank you Aly for suggesting this site to me.

I love using 750 words, but it can be difficult on the iPad. Sometimes it does not save if I paste a large amount of my writing from another location, it will not scroll or it signs me out repeatedly. I do not know if this is easy to fix, but having an app or i-device-friendly page would be great.

Thank you!

I first started 750 Words when I was suddenly and unexpectedly given a large writing role at work. I hadn’t done much writing, corporate or otherwise, in the several years since I graduated college, and I could feel the rust coating my mental gears when I’d try to get in a groove. 750 Words has been an incredible help in getting over that initial hump of simply writing, whether it’s a journal entry, an idea for a personal project, or a brainstorming session for work copy. All in all, I couldn’t be more grateful for the team and community in helping me feel less like an imposter and more like a writer again!

I’ve sort of come and gone from 750Words, but am back and in the midst of my longest streak to date. I’ve used it as a “brain dump” where I try (don’t always succeed) to get up in the morning and commit my 750, not trying to craft great prose but just getting it down and filling it up. I’ve found that during my stretches away from being a member I actually experience mental constipation. So I’ll keep at it, a day at a time. If nothing else my typing is now north of 40 WPM, and I’m sure there are other benefits that I’m not even aware of. Thanks for making this site, Kellianne and Buster.

About a month ago I decided I need to get my brain healthier so I decided to journal, play brain games, do yoga and talk a walk daily. This website has been such a blessing. I’ve kept up with it everyday and I can feel myself getting emotionally healthier. I did therapy for about 3 years and I feel this is even better as I’m able to dump whatever is on my brain every day. Getting validation from the stats is icing on the cake!

I appreciate the orderly design and lack of distraction on the site. It does everything I want it to and nothing that I don’t. I happily recommend it to friends.

Writing is highly therapeutic for me. I love the accountability of having an online community for me to check in with.

It really helps to slow down my anxious thoughts and reflect on my life. Part-meditation, part-timeout from my day.

I love this site and am so glad that I’ve found it. Thanks for creating it! I believe it makes me a better writer for my blog www.JessicaLaurenVine.com Keep it going! =D

It would be really great to be able to go back and edit entries before today’s entry. :) It wouldn’t have to count towards awards or anything, just be nice to keep like thoughts in context if I wanted to make a note on a page, say, a week ago, where I was calculating my evil scheme for taking over the world.

I’d love push notifications to write. #HabitForming

Did the page that showed all-time stats – tone, types of words used, etc, go away? Came back from 750 words after a long absence and can’t seem to find it.

I just received my Space bird badge! I am so happy and so grateful for the team at 750 words for creating an opportunity for me to discipline myself and write in a safe and protected environment every day. This is such an illuminating, healing and clarifying experience for me.

When I wrote my first 750 words entry I was interested in the challenge to write every single day. Four years later, I’m yet to form a consistent daily writing habit, but this hasn’t rendered my experience fruitless. I think a strength of 750 words lies in the fact it can be used for many purposes, suiting the preferences of those who use it, and with some structure in the form of goals and gentle encouragement. Working through assessment ideas, treating it as a diary or a personal soapbox are purposes to which I’ve put my entries (sometimes all three in the one).

750 words can be a place to maintain your week, month or year long streaks of daily writing. For me, it’s a place I might neglect but always seem to end up returning to. At times, away from a laptop, I’ve found myself excited to have the chance to log on later and bang out an entry. Knowing you can put something troubling aside and have a particular time and place in which to deal with it is comforting. Thank you for offering such a place!

It helps me be more mindful. It slows down my thoughts when they’re rushing through my head.

I generally don’t write on weekends. I know, the idea is to write every day, but I tend to rest my writing muscles on weekends. it’s what works for me. It makes it hard to get any kind of streak or badge, though, and those streaks and badges provide a little motivation.

Would it be possible to create some weekday warrior badges that keep track of stats for just Monday through Friday?

I started 750 words and it has been such a great return on my writing skills. I am a screenwriter and by writing every day I have developed new skills and have become more dedicated and disciplined on my own work. It has become very therapeutic and cathartic to me. I have opened up my writing potential thanks to this site. I am addicted to writing now and it is a great addiction. Keep on writing.

I can’t tell you how much this site has improved my life! It sounds dramatic, but I never thought I’d be able to commit to something like this. Writing every night empties my head of the days disjointed thoughts, so I wake up with a clear, positive mind every morning. It’s like a form of meditation.. without the torment of having to sit still! 750words has given me the confidence to know that I CAN write the book I’ve always dreamed about. (And I’m not ashamed to admit my irrational excitement over the badges). Thank you Buster and Kellianne <3

I just re-activated my subscription after more than a year’s break and I found it very hard to access my past posts from a year ago. Showing my archive on my profile or somewhere else more accessible would be really appreciated.
