When I started writing again — three years ago now! — 750 Words was invaluable to me. I began a streak that lasted almost a year (Life Happens, as we all know), and since then there have been months where there are more blank days than days with writing. If I get discouraged, or feel that the block might be Forever, I only needed to look into my archives to know that I can break free of it.

The point of 750Words is to build a rhythm, a habit — when life happens, though, that habit sometimes needs to take second place. I encourage everyone who has broken a streak to not give up! There’s a freeing feeling of seeing those blank little rectangles turn from slashes into X’s again, just like the first time. And if it happens again (and it might!) — you can do it. Just take a look at how many days you’ve written, your longest streak, your averages… you can do amazing things.

Use this awesome site to build your habit — but be kind to yourself, too. If you miss a day and break your streak, don’t despair. You’ve done this before — you can do it again. xoxo

Just passed 3.5 million Words on this site tonight. So hard to believe, but as I continue my streak, the Words just pile up. I’m incredibly grateful to Buster and Kellianne for this place to converse with myself and the world. It has become more than a practice—it’s my way of life. I take time each day to be with myself in this way—all because of the early on badges that kept me going. Yes, I’d like a badge for 2000 days, which will come up in a bit, but even without it I’ll keep writing. It’s just what I do now. Thank you, also, to all of you who join me in this space. We’re a special tribe, And, though I don’t know you personally, I’m grateful for your company. I wish continued writing for all of us.
