The Good Patrons of 750 Words

1 cup

Sadly, an eldercare situation came up yesterday, and I simply never got back to my computer to finish the words I started here earlier in the day. As a result my 48 day streak was broken (sad face). I’ve been a member for 2 months, going on 3, and I lost my first challenge exactly the same way. But last month I made it, and needless to say it felt like a huge victory to successfully complete the challenge for the first time. But even if failing the challenge again this month (and once again due to a stupid mental lapse) is frustrating, I’ve found the (mostly) daily routine of 750 words to have made a huge difference in my relation to my professional writing. Much of what I write here on the site isn’t words that go into my lectures and articles, but the habit I’ve been able to build here of putting words down freely has definitely made my other writing feel less fraught, and I’m experiencing a lot less writers block overall. Thank you 750words! I’m so glad you exist!
