Thank you, Buster and Kellianne, for 750words.com. I love the way it keeps me motivated to write something (anything! ok well, some days, really just anything) every day.

I use it mostly to summarize the past day, but because I have to write (or paste in) tons of words, it inspires an in-depth reconsideration that is so useful. What I paste in is mostly emails I sent and received that day.

Then (o lovely Internet synergy) at the end of each month, I paste your entire month record (thank you for keeping one) to Evernote. Of course I hope you keep my words around forever, but I have been on the Internet a very long time, so I’m hedging my bets. Also, it is pretty convenient to search Evernote for times I mentioned “Beijing” or “avatar.”

Thurber talks about a figure of speech using “the container for the thing contained.” 750words is a wonderful container for many of my past memories worth remembering. So, thanks a lot!

Taking away the pressure to perform, but creating a container in which to be consistent is the perfect recipe for creating great things. Things of any kind. When we consistently sit down to dedicate the time, that’s when the magic happens. Thanks 750 Words for furthering this and creating a space for people to call their home, their secret writing corner. Where it doesn’t matter what you write, but THAT you write. That you open up the opportunity for brilliance to blaze through your fingers on a daily basis. It’s so important to me and to countless others.

I discovered my life’s purpose this morning as I wrote my daily words at 750words.com. That purpose has been a long time coming, and today it all dropped into place. Thank you.
