The Good Patrons of 750 Words

15 cups

I’ve been with 750words since it started in 2009. I had been trying to do 750 words longhand while sole parenting 2 toddlers and because it took me over an hour to do I didn’t do it very often. Until a friend told me about this site. It is part of my daily morning routine, cup of coffee by my side. Most often I use it to write about my night dreams – a core part of my spiritual life – or to work out difficult problems in my life. It’s refreshing for this perfectionist to not have to worry about typos or grammar and to just do a brain dump as fast as my fingers can go (they can never keep up with my mind). I’ve never been able to go a year without a missing a day and while that was discouraging the first few times – I really wanted those badges! – especially because it was always due to circumstances outside of my control, I’ve realized that it doesn’t matter. Everyone knows that “morning words” is what I do and having this habit is what’s most important. I’ve been able to rant and cuss and say things I’d never say out loud in order to come back to a difficult person or situation in a calm, collected, and emotionally healthy manner. This site has changed my life for the better. Thank you!
