The Good Patrons of 750 Words

2 cups

For a while there, I lost a big part of myself. I went months without writing, letting all my ideas sit in my head or on documents that would collect virtual dust on my desktop. A couple months ago, a tidal wave of inspiration hit, and I managed to pull myself together and get back into the game. I don’t know if I could have done it without 750words.

I’m so incredibly grateful for this website. I function a lot better with a bit of routine, and watching that streak counter creep ever so slowly towards higher digits reminds me just how far I’ve come from that person that couldn’t even try to pick up a pen or get her hands on a keyboard without feeling overwhelmed and insanely self-critical. Slowly, I’m learning how to write for myself, without the crippling self-doubt leering over my shoulder – I’m remembering that writing, for me, can be fun.

I’m nearly at 70 days in a row, and just completed my third NaNoWriMo. I’m thinking of the future, and finally, not just imagining the days of regret and guilt from not writing at all. I’m thinking of all the stories and tidbits of writing I’ll have, thanks to this website and all that it’s helped me accomplish. Thank you so much for everything!!
