This would be exactly the same as the daily stats page (except perhaps the progress graph), but it would apply the your whole month of writing. Even fancier, if you could select a date range and have it do all the neat emotional and word use analysis for those days would be really great.

Love the site!
Cheers,
Ben.

I have found very refreshing for my soul to start my day writing… It really help me to clear my mind from all the thoughts that float around during the night even writing my dreams and feelings. It is a great way to start my day! “Writing is like sailing in your ocean of words”… Thanks for working so hard to make this site such a safe and pleasant place to be. Blessings!

For 2.5 years I have tried to write my words on a daily basis and found the practice to be a wonderful way to achieve peace of mind and a sense of accomplishment. The practice has honed my skills with creative writing and set me up with a methodology to stay centered.

As a user I want an SSL connection while I’m using the site so that I don’t worry about my data being intercepted on insecure network connections when I’m not using my VPN.

As a user who has a really long streak and loses it for reasons beyond my control I want a way to recover my streak so that I don’t feel even worse than I already do for not having done something that’s really important to me.

As a user who wakes up very early I want the morning badge (even though I usually write at 4am) so that I can feel like my badges line up with behaviors that I value and want to encourage / be recognized for.

As a user I want to be able to quickly and easily view (and vote on) feature requests including their description so that I can understand whether the feature would be of value to me.

I love writing my words. It has become such a core part of my morning ritual … honestly it is the component around which the rest of the ritual is built.

I can’t imagine not writing in the morning and I know that because of 750 even if I’m not able to get to a computer in the morning I will find a way to write as soon as possible because it is how I am able to communicate with a deeper part of my self.

Finally: Go December writers!! Keep it up!!

It’s so hard to use this on mobile- I’d love to see an app!

One of my friends turned me on to this website when I was in a really rough patch during my last year of college. While I didn’t necessarily use this site every day, the insight it gave me into my thoughts and feelings was enough to keep me around and helped me really find myself again. Even if I’m not an avid user, I’m a patron if only for how much this website helped me through a tough time.

I started using 750 words late this past summer. I looked forward to writing every morning. Then my free trial ended. I had determined that I was NOT paying $5 a month when I could use OneNote or Word for free. I even tried another online journal. Well, nothing compares to how I felt using 750 Words and the insight I gained from my writing. So, I’m back as an official, appreciative member!

Perspective. I’d like a clear tall glass of perspective. All out? Well thank heavens you have 750Words!

750Words.com is a verified depression killer. Once you clear your mind and practice some typing meditation, your whole world brightens.

Speaking of books, I really like The Organized Mind by Daniel Levitin. 750 words has helped me organize my naturally-very-messy mind for more than 3 years now. I value the way 750 words helps me to clear my mind of “things to remember” (because writing them down here means I can access them later.) It also provides a low-risk space for writing quick drafts of plans, emails, even the occasional poem or essay. Not being distracted by formatting choices makes the transition from thought to writing much quicker, at least for me. I am proud to be a patron and encourage others to sign up if you haven’t already to support this good website. Thanks so much for 750 words!

every year for the last fifteen years i have had a hard time staying centered and positive from September through the holidays. fifteen years ago i lost my teen aged daughter, whose birthday is in September. that would start it, then the family-oriented holidays would come and i’d be in the therapist’s office trying to find my center. this year has been different. i have written morning pages 170 days as of today and this year i am not a basket case during this challenging time of year. and i even lost my (really my daughter’s) 18-year old cat in the middle of a major move — last month. my point is, i think morning pages is having a profound impact on my life — on my outlook — and i am so grateful. next up? getting back to my novel writing. morning pages… i’m asking a lot of you!!! so grateful for this site that makes it easy and fun to do this work. thank you!!!

After doggedly pursuing an uninterrupted year long string of days on 750words.com, I was led to participate in the NaNoWriMo challenge. I thought it was an unrealistic goal at first, but the disciplines I developed on this site led me to believe it was possible. I achieved the requisite minimum of 50,000 words on Day 23, and I pushed on to accumulate over 66,000 words by Day 30.

So pleased am I with the result that I may avail myself of further opportunities in January and February to revise and edit the product. It turns out that even though I brought my offering to a clumsy and awkward conclusion, I really regard it as only half complete. Call it Part 1. So, thank you to Kellianne and Buster and others who have worked to construct and maintain this site. I look forward to lots more words.

Writing on 750 Words has definitely aided in my spiritual growth! It is nice to look back at my progress. I’m also becoming a better writer and I am considering using the material I’ve written to help write my memoirs. This site is wonderful. Thank you!

It would be cool to get a badge for length of patronage. Maybe give them out per year.

It would be kind of cool if we could choose entries to share via social media or hyperlink. Maybe after an entry has been on the site for 6 months or a year, the share option would become available.

I have always loved creative writing, but I am a scientist which is a very different type of writing. I signed up for 750words to force myself to free-write daily and could not be happier with my decision. Although I wasn’t ready to prepare a full novel in November for NaNoWriMo, 750words gave me the courage to start a novel which I am working on now. I am so excited to finally be doing something that was just a dream 7 years ago!

Thank you so much for creating this site. I used to write almost religiously every day, but since I graduated college and started working full time it’s become a challenge for me to set that time aside. 750 Words has given me the motivation and encouragement I needed to start this habit again, and I’m so grateful for it. Thank you!

I would love an easier way to share my writing with others. Ideally, it would be fun to create communities within the community, so that I could have a group of people who could view my content and I could view theirs etc… Love the site, thank you for your work.

Hello! I wrote my 50,000 words in November for NaNoWriMo this year but didn’t see my limited edition badge. Wondering if there is one for 2016? I did break my streak during the month so maybe missing a day was the problem? Would love to know.

Dear Buster and Kellianne, your current badges are so inspiring. Surely even more badges would be even more inspiring? I just recently got a Space Squirrel badge. Is there nothing left for me to hope for? Maybe a Bullwinkly badge for 2000 days in a row? Thanks for the inspiration you already gave me. xxxx Betsy

I would love something like this! It would be cool to be able to continue some of the badges like the Turquoise Horse that are a little more challenging to get in the first place. I hope they do a NaNo 2016 also for this year.
