I am here again to say thank you to Team 750 and all the people writing here! I keep writing, and keep showing up, and little by little this spot has helped me climb out of many holes, many challenges, and also go into holes, with courage, to see what the heck is inside?!! I have so much gratitude for this space that exists and helps me to know I have shown up for myself, so that I can also show up for those I love, and just, heck, be a good citizen of this ailing world that needs us all to show up! Thank you thank you thank you.

I just started using this site a couple of months and have found it very helpful in getting my thoughts out of my head so I can focus on other things. I have to say it has kept me writing when I needed it most. I have been going through a lot in my life and I am able to just express myself when I need to. I am glad I was introduced to the site. The cost of membership is less than coffee at Starbucks and better spent. Thank you

First: Thanks, Kellianne for fixing my streak this month; these last few weeks have been horrendous; writing daily helped keep me sane. Second: I’m so glad I came back to this site & committed to the daily write: so many good things are opening up, at least in my mind & spirit. From there, who knows? Blessings to all!

Thank you so, so much for restoring my streak, Kellianne. I was amazed at how devastated I felt when I thought I’d lost my lovely Griffin. I’m still in a wheelchair for the time being, and I’m not able to get much business work done, but I’m back to writing every night—and I’m feeling wonderful about that. You have helped me in my healing journey, and I’m very grateful!

Maybe when a member has problems accessing the site, there could be some kind of response within five days? Not necessarily you two who started it…maybe a helper for an hour a day?

I completed the March challenge of writing daily and signed up for April which I’m on track to complete as well. Feels great!

I love this site! I suffer from a severe syndrome of procrastination and this has helped me to make time for writing. I have the hopes of completing my first book soon and I certainly hope this site helps. Thanks for what you do.

This website is like coming home to a good friend. I have been away from it for months, and suddenly felt the pull to return today. I am a writer, and will publish my first book (memoir) this fall — Yay! But my manuscript is with my editor, leaving me feel aimless, like a ship with no rudder. And that has made me feel increasingly grumpy. Yuck! Enough already … I am coming back to 750 Words to get back into alignment: mind, body, spirit. I am grateful for this website and it consistent presence!

It’s very handy. :)

I would like names to be listed in alphabetical order on the members list, wall of awesomeness and wall of shame and the month’s challengers.

I’ve been writing here since 2018 but never daily. Then I signed up and just completed the March challenge and wrote everyday and I’ve been transformed! I love the daily practice especially before bed when I dump out the day’s racing thoughts followed by a good nights sleep. Maybe they don’t have to be morning pages, evening pages work too. Thank you!

1 cup

I’d love to have an app where I could write on the go

This site has not only kept me in the daily writing game, but it has also kept my nose about water throughout my recent challenges. Merci beaucoup with much gratitude!

I’ve used 750 Words to not only find out what’s going on in my conscious and subconscious, but I’ve come up with stories, essays, and even books from writing rapidly on this site.
Thank you so much, Buster and Kellianne, for helping me to continue being the writer that I am.

1 cup

Having a local backup, in addition to the site connection would be helpful when traveling around the world. Sometimes, the internet connections are iffy, so an app that saved locally would be great.

750words is my favorite way to get a start on my day. I record dreams, keep track of energy levels, health, and projects, and I write the first 750 words of a day. I started using it during NaNoWriMo a few years back.

i used 750 long ago as a teen and fledgling writer.. i’m actually not sure what made me think of it again, but it was just in time to commit to a monthly challenge. here i am, one month later! building daily routines is a big part of my life right now and what a wonderful and low-stakes addition to my morning. it’s so encouraging to watch the stats stack up !

After using 750 words for almost 2yrs and getting some really good streaks going, I just stopped. But, I am back now and in a completely different set of life circumstances that leaves me needing to get the stuff in my head out, even if it’s just talking about daily plans or what I did for the day, etc. When you live alone after having the true love of your life with you all the time for more than 20yrs. You need to be able to share your mundane stuff and serious thoughts … somewhere. And this is how 750 Words is helping me this time around. I don’t mind living alone, but I definitely need to just vent and let out my thoughts from the day – it really makes my evenings so much better if I sit down and write just before dinner. THANK YOU.

It’s so motivating!! I’ve just finished a year, and now the badges are going to be pretty few and far between.

Hi all! I’ve been able to succeed at the March challenge of writing daily. It’s been tough at times, I’m not gonna lie and say I’m loving it, but I’ve been here since 2018 and haven’t been consistent and this has helped. To my surprise, I just signed up for the April challenge because I guess not seeing my name on the wall of shame is a motivator enough to keep me writing everyday, despite all the temptations that attempt to tear me from my writing practice like naps, going to sleep at 9pm and cuddle time with my dog. Thanks for being here, even though I don’t know or read anything you’ve written, I’m pretty sure we’re in this together.

Thank you750! I had things on my mind this evening and I need to share some of this with my talk therapy I have. I was cleaning up and thought to myself about how unorganized I I have been. This is the first place I knew I could come and write.

1 cup

Wow, I was going through my password manager and thought hey I wonder if 750Words is still there? It is, and I wrote 687 words and … the clock changed! LOL! But it was great and my fingers are all nice and warmed up so I think I’ll keep logging in and dumping my thoughts down as I did way back in 2010. And when I was here last, it was just Buster! Congrats to everyone! And kids too! Wow! Cheers and really thank you for being here.

I’ve been using this on and off for over a decade, but have recently found it really useful for starting out the day and setting out my intentions for it. Working through all the things I need and want to do during it, and then using my writing here to work out how I can achieve them. It gives me great focus, and has definitely aided my creativity and productivity over the past year.

750 words has helped me get a great routine for resetting my mind before I go to bed. I know the pages are supposed to be used in the morning, but writing everything out about my day and processing the things that came u for me helps me prepare for a restful night and feel like my day has ended. It’s a great investment in myself and my wellbeing. I recommend giving it a try, even if you don’t write every day.

Many years ago I read Julia Cameron’s book, The Artist’s Way. The one exercise from that book that stuck for me was Morning Pages. I have written 3 pages, or 750 words almost every day for about 30 years. When a friend told me about this site, it was a smooth transition for me from long-hand to keyboard. I use it to clear my mind, to dump my life issues without censorship. It is my therapeutic Practice. Writing every morning is essential for me to get the deep stuff up and out into the light. I am so grateful for 750 Words!

Thank you so much Kellianne for fixing my broken streak. I’d got up to 1647 days when I came home tired from travelling, fell asleep at 1800 and didn’t wake up until after midnight. The way my heart sank when I realised I’d broken my streak! But one desperate plea to Kellianne later and it was all fixed and I can keep rolling towards that 2000 day goal. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Thank you 750 Words! Doing the Challenges has hooked me into a habit. I like to write in the mornings, first thing if I can but my cats usually demand my attention first thing and sometimes my spouse and I are up at the same time and I have to put my writing on hold, but then I get to my desk, my computer looks at me. I look at it and away we go!
Sometimes I write with ease. Sometimes it’s like pulling teeth, without ease. I save each thing I write in Notebook on Evernote, where I create tags for what I’ve written about. Because I’m trying to write newsletters (blogs) on a regular basis on Substack. And I need subjects and written words!
To all the writers here, and especially the writers just jumping in for the first time: Confidence comes from doing the thing. The more you do it — it’s not so much that it gets easier, but you feel braver about what you write and the ability to push through the difficult parts.
Yesterday, I wrote a bunch of fiction for something I’ll probably try to workshop during NaNoWriMo.
We’ll see when we get there.
Welcome aboard, newbies and big hugs to all of us on the journey!
