Kellianne has singlehandedly done more for my sanity than any other person on the planet! I’m so scatterbrained—all over the map, lots of unfinished projects—and I often write offline, hitting save only when I’m done with my 750. This is a ritual, a saving grace, a singlular point of focus in an otherwise tumultuous landscape.

It’s so silly, but having an unbroken streak makes me feel like I can be a person in the world. Like, at least I can do this thing right every day, and I am so, so grateful for the few times I’ve had an internet error, or glitch, or forgotten to hit “save,” and Kellianne has come through for me, helping me to feel like I’m back on track. I feel supported. This website has been a lifeline and essential resource for me since 2012, and I haven’t stopped writing. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Kellianne (and Buster) for all you do!

Because of my daily writing discipline I am now nearing 1000 consecutive writing days, I have written five books (NaNoWriMo style), and completed 12 academic papers for publication. After a while, it wasn’t just about stream of consciousness writing or brain dumping, it evolved to capturing my philosophy and frameworks on certain topics of my thought leadership and massaging here for publication.

I am so excited that my writing journey has evolved to mastery and it’s all thanks to 750words and consistency!

Ordinarily I’d be devastated that I missed a day of the challenge, but, in my defense, it was my birthday weekend, I had started writing and was distracted by cake (lie) with every intention of returning to the one paragraph I managed to input. But I feel redeemed because I bet $5 for 750 words if I failed, and I failed, so I donated the sawbuck and today is Day One of the August Challenge, and I will prevail! Plus, as part of my penance, I have to eat two apple fritters from Bob’s donuts on Polk St.

I’ve had an account long enough to be a free member, but for so long I didn’t use it. Now I’m participating in the 1000 words of summer challenge, where the goal is to write 1000 words a day, every day, for two weeks. Instead of using Scrivener or even Word, I decided to use 750 Words. It’s been great to have not only the stats tracking, but to get out of my head, to quiet the editor when right now it’s the writer’s turn. It’s been great, and I’m grateful to 750 words for existing. So thanks.

I take a lot of writing classes. Whenever I’m asked what I hope to get out of a particular class, I always say it’s to develop a writing practice. No matter how good or plentiful the advice I got, nothing worked, Until 750 words monthly writing challenges. Turns out all I needed to develop a hardcore, daily writing practice was a false deadline. I often wait until I only have an hour to start writing my words. That way I don’t go back and edit, which is the number one cause of my mini-writers blockages. I’ll often write a thousand words before I even look down at the bottom of the page to see my progress, For a habitual editor like me, that is a feat. Now I write during the day with a lot more fluidity and forgiveness. And I still do my 750 words+++ every single night just for the sake of writing without judgment.

I am here again to say thank you to Team 750 and all the people writing here! I keep writing, and keep showing up, and little by little this spot has helped me climb out of many holes, many challenges, and also go into holes, with courage, to see what the heck is inside?!! I have so much gratitude for this space that exists and helps me to know I have shown up for myself, so that I can also show up for those I love, and just, heck, be a good citizen of this ailing world that needs us all to show up! Thank you thank you thank you.

I just started using this site a couple of months and have found it very helpful in getting my thoughts out of my head so I can focus on other things. I have to say it has kept me writing when I needed it most. I have been going through a lot in my life and I am able to just express myself when I need to. I am glad I was introduced to the site. The cost of membership is less than coffee at Starbucks and better spent. Thank you

First: Thanks, Kellianne for fixing my streak this month; these last few weeks have been horrendous; writing daily helped keep me sane. Second: I’m so glad I came back to this site & committed to the daily write: so many good things are opening up, at least in my mind & spirit. From there, who knows? Blessings to all!

Thank you so, so much for restoring my streak, Kellianne. I was amazed at how devastated I felt when I thought I’d lost my lovely Griffin. I’m still in a wheelchair for the time being, and I’m not able to get much business work done, but I’m back to writing every night—and I’m feeling wonderful about that. You have helped me in my healing journey, and I’m very grateful!

Maybe when a member has problems accessing the site, there could be some kind of response within five days? Not necessarily you two who started it…maybe a helper for an hour a day?

I completed the March challenge of writing daily and signed up for April which I’m on track to complete as well. Feels great!

I love this site! I suffer from a severe syndrome of procrastination and this has helped me to make time for writing. I have the hopes of completing my first book soon and I certainly hope this site helps. Thanks for what you do.

This website is like coming home to a good friend. I have been away from it for months, and suddenly felt the pull to return today. I am a writer, and will publish my first book (memoir) this fall — Yay! But my manuscript is with my editor, leaving me feel aimless, like a ship with no rudder. And that has made me feel increasingly grumpy. Yuck! Enough already … I am coming back to 750 Words to get back into alignment: mind, body, spirit. I am grateful for this website and it consistent presence!

I would like names to be listed in alphabetical order on the members list, wall of awesomeness and wall of shame and the month’s challengers.

I’ve been writing here since 2018 but never daily. Then I signed up and just completed the March challenge and wrote everyday and I’ve been transformed! I love the daily practice especially before bed when I dump out the day’s racing thoughts followed by a good nights sleep. Maybe they don’t have to be morning pages, evening pages work too. Thank you!

I’d love to have an app where I could write on the go

This site has not only kept me in the daily writing game, but it has also kept my nose about water throughout my recent challenges. Merci beaucoup with much gratitude!

I’ve used 750 Words to not only find out what’s going on in my conscious and subconscious, but I’ve come up with stories, essays, and even books from writing rapidly on this site.
Thank you so much, Buster and Kellianne, for helping me to continue being the writer that I am.

Having a local backup, in addition to the site connection would be helpful when traveling around the world. Sometimes, the internet connections are iffy, so an app that saved locally would be great.

750words is my favorite way to get a start on my day. I record dreams, keep track of energy levels, health, and projects, and I write the first 750 words of a day. I started using it during NaNoWriMo a few years back.

i used 750 long ago as a teen and fledgling writer.. i’m actually not sure what made me think of it again, but it was just in time to commit to a monthly challenge. here i am, one month later! building daily routines is a big part of my life right now and what a wonderful and low-stakes addition to my morning. it’s so encouraging to watch the stats stack up !

After using 750 words for almost 2yrs and getting some really good streaks going, I just stopped. But, I am back now and in a completely different set of life circumstances that leaves me needing to get the stuff in my head out, even if it’s just talking about daily plans or what I did for the day, etc. When you live alone after having the true love of your life with you all the time for more than 20yrs. You need to be able to share your mundane stuff and serious thoughts … somewhere. And this is how 750 Words is helping me this time around. I don’t mind living alone, but I definitely need to just vent and let out my thoughts from the day – it really makes my evenings so much better if I sit down and write just before dinner. THANK YOU.
