The Good Patrons of 750 Words

2 cups

I just wanted to write and say how much I LOVE 750words.com. Years ago I used to write out morning pages by hand, but I am a terrible hand writer and my arm gets sore, I get cramps etc.. I can’t stand writing by hand. BUT – I LOVE to type! I love letting go stream of consciousness writing and just going with the flow. Therefore – 750words.com is perfect for me! I love all the badges though my competitive streak comes out and now I can’t write slowly because I want the cheetah badge.. that’s kind of a bad thing but anyway.. I love the site.. so much so that I was willing to pay to write this! Crazy!

The Morning Pages (750 Words) are an amazing tool that has given me so much insight and focus, as I have never before experienced. I’ve always been a contemplative person, but often my thinking was fuzzy and foggy or went nowhere. I’ve gained so much clarity through my writing now and I am forever grateful for this!

I drove hundreds of miles to get to my summer internship. To be exact, I sat in the backseat of my car while my parents took me to my summer internship. I typed out my 750 words when I awoke in the car on my iPhone. I think I gave myself mild carpal tunnel syndrome, but it happened because I refused to miss a day and my whole day was spent in the car. I went to bed as soon as we got in. 750 words is something that I’m committed to and I can’t wait for my next badges!

This site should be required exercise for every grad student in the dissertation writing stage. Forget support groups and how-to books. Nothing has been as helpful in finishing my dissertation (and staying sane) as my regular visit to 750.

Well, I am nearing the 365 day mark.

I have written 465000 words on 750 Words. Published three books and compiled another one. Also completed one that was already begun and am halfway through the Second Part of that Saga.

And when my daughter introduced me to ‘750’ I told her I would never be able to use it. I was suffering from Writer’s Block and was morosely wondering where to go next to get the flow back.

Thanks Buster – A great site.

The next big challenge is Camp NaNoWriMo. Will I be able to write a novel of 50 000 words? With ’750’s’ help? A definite and resounding “Yes”.

750 words has helped me develop the daily habit of writing and helped me exercise my creativity muscle. Such a simple habit that I enjoy so much.

Thanks Buster!

I’m finally telling the story I need to tell. I’m really beginning to get it down, because it’s taken a few years of doing ‘morning pages’ to really realize that it’s not going away, and I’ve just got to get it out.

1 cup

I’m closing in on a full-year streak (318 days!) and just scheduled some time off for travel. (I’ll still write – I’m just not sure it will be uploaded.) I don’t usually go for badges and streaks and record keeping – but I’m loving this site. The simplicity of it makes it work.

Just write. Thank you for creating it.

I discovered 750 words last summer thanks to another writer, and use it to explore ideas for my next novel, sketch out scenes that are giving me trouble, talk to reticent characters, and to pretty much clear out every other obstacle that stands in the way of progress along my writing journey.
In fact, this site has become one of the most productive parts of my writing routine, and, very much like that daily cup of java in the morning, it has become hard to start my day without my 750 words.
Thanks for setting this up!!

Working with this site has helped me learn 2 big things.

One, there is always more to write. Even if I think I have written all I can for one day, there will be something for me to do tomorrow. That’s comforting since I had once worried I was not creative enough to keep ideas flowing.

Two, 750 words are not that many. I can do that writing and stay in touch with that creative spirit in less than a half hour a day. It’s an exercise of the mind, and thanks to the fun badges and notices of continuous days, I want to keep going.

This really is a great site. I recommend it to my friends, and I’m going to keep using it.

Good luck everyone! :)

Before 750 words I was never able to stick with journaling for more than a few days at a time. Now I’ve got in 159 days without too many breaks. Sometimes the words are meaningless trivialities or venting, but it’s always cleansing for the mind. Thanks, Buster.

750 words helps me work through so many challenges – often I sit down thinking “Oh, I feel SO angry” about something and by the end of my writing I’ve processed through all the anger, realized the learning I got from the situation, and come out the other side realizing how to move forward – may it do the same for you!!!

1 cup

Maybe have the option to turn on a daily writing prompt that stays in the top right corner.

Also, I don’t know if it’s possible, but it would be cool if users could choose to donate their idle time (750words’ unused processing power) to one of those @home research groups.

Bottoms up! Thanks again Buster for this amazing site!

I come and go with being an active writer on this site, but always feel so much better when I stick with it. Hoping this time I will keep with it.

This site has brought out of me some of my best ideas and has instilled in me the belief that I don’t have to get it right on the first go. There will be DRAFTS! Editing while writing will be a never-ending battle. 750 Words has aided me in bringing the battle to an end. :)

I have discovered the site two months back thanks to one of the guys I am following on Twitter. Since I am writing here (and I missed only two days in two months) I have realized that I start the day with a lot clearer head and thoughts well sorted.
The biggest benefit was to realize that I have so much material, that I can start my blog now (finally after a couple of years)! Imagine how that feels!

I concur that this should be a priority. Nearly every testimonial talks about people using this site as a form of therapy or a journal. An awful lot of trust going on here.

I love this site because it has encouraged me to journal more and just get everything out. I can release emotions or recount the daily events in my life. I have kept handwritten journals for years. Because of the challenge of getting my words in everyday and being on a streak and seeing my badge change I am inspired to keep the trend going. Even on a recent vacation I managed to keep my writing and my streak up using my notes on my iphone to journal and then copying and pasting or writing directly into the site. Because of the challenge there is more of me on these pages than ever before and I really like that I can go back and track my life. I have only been here for a few months and it is the one site I check into every day and make my contribution of thoughts. Thank you for such a great way to write no matter what it is that you like to write.

This site has been an absolute godsend. It’s allowed me to basically journal more effectively than I ever have in my life. I’m able to get myself into a regular schedule and it helps every day to clear my head. This is a great thing you’ve given us, thank you so much!

All you need is to get your server attacked by some script kiddie looking to swipe the next Great American novel, or to blackmail some writer who’s journaling intimate secrets.

I used to write morning pages every day an then stopped for years. Since I found 750words.com 87 days ago, I’ve written every day. It has helped me look back at my time and challenge where I’m coming from, as I see habits and patterns forming in my daily words. I read my old entries and see a flurry of emotion and ill-thought out complaints, and I think, “I have better things to write about than that.” It is a mental fine-tuning, and I really like that.

3 cups

I have been nursing these pages to dump thoughts that don’t server me. I am not a writer and am not interested in writing a book at all, I use this wonderful tool to clear my mind so I can live more from truth rather than unhealthy thought patterns. This is my daily journal. I had lost interest in journally and this has reinspired me to write again.
I am a counsellor in Canada and will be
recommending this sight for my clients to journal.

Thank u for creating such a fantastic tool.

Save words I write … my streak was broken because for some reason it did not work last night.
