The Friends & Members of 750 Words
750 Words exists because of mutual good will between the people that run this site (Buster & Kellianne) and the people who use it (you). The site wouldn't exist without the generosity, patience, and humor of everyone involved. For the first 3+ years that the site was running (Dec 2009 to May 2013), the site was free to use but with some encouragement to donate. That served us well (and most importantly, generated enough income to keep the site up), but as the site grew the need for support also grew.
On June 12th 2013, all existing users of the site were given lifetime free accounts (we hope you'll continue to donate when you can). New accounts created after June 12th, 2013 are now required to become members within 30 days after signing up in order to keep writing. Everyone will always have access to previous writings, stats, etc, even if they choose not to become members.
We're listening to your feedback and want to make sure that first and foremost, we offer a friendly and safe place for people to dump their private thoughts. I expect that we'll continue to adjust the way this all works for the near term. Thanks for being an awesome community!

Notes of inspiration from members![]() I have found it difficult to focus on prayer, to take time out from the day and spend time taking my thoughts to God. This is an amazing way of doing it – clearing my mind, writing down things that would have gone unsaid, uncovering deep longings and concerns that would have gone unnoticed. Thank you for a great site.

![]() This is the second time I joined 750 words. My first attempt clearly shows lack of interest. But after what I heard from mentors about the benefits of writing daily. Immediately this site is top of mind. And so far I like how it’s making an impact on how I can make my thoughts organize and it gives me clarity because I can just throw everything here. Thanks to the admins for their assistance on my inquiries. Plus, I love the badges. It gives me a clear view of the goal I want to achieve.

![]() Here are the other 4 cups I meant to use on this note.
Testimonial Note from Kate Sanders on Fri, Sep 04
![]() I don’t drink much coffee, but when I do I like it very strong, hence spending most of my cups on this entry. I’ve just earned my Phoenix badge and am super-proud!

![]() Having an iPhone app would be a dream come true! There are times where I’m not in front of my computer. However, I always have my phone with me. Can you please make it happen?

![]() 750 helps me get rid of all the thoughts that plague me lol.
Testimonial Note from Amy Marie Ansell on Thu, Sep 03
![]() Resurrecting my daily writing practice has really helped me get a routine going these past months. My work has pretty much disappeared and although I’m fairly easily amused, I was in danger of falling into an abyss of getting up late and spending all day making dinner. 750 words has helped me get some focus and inspired me to learn to be a better writer.
Testimonial Note from E Brookes on Wed, Sep 02
![]() Thank you, Thank you, Than you. This takes the books Bird by Bird and writing down the Bones and puts them to work. The book proceeds day by day entry by entry. First person, third person practice. Deaths in the family
Testimonial Note from Joseph Kane on Tue, Sep 01
![]() I finally finished a monthly challenge! Better yet, I got a proposal drafted!
Testimonial Note from Robin Tanamachi on Tue, Sep 01
![]() To everyone out there who is scared to tell your truth, keep writing. The world needs your words.
Testimonial Note from Anne Robertson on Tue, Sep 01
![]() I’ve been on this site for 6 years now. Keep up the good work everyone!
Testimonial Note from Dalia on Mon, Aug 31
![]() Maybe some more customization options, stickers, buttons, anything subtly interactive and engaging.
New Feature Vote from pat ricia on Mon, Aug 31
![]() It could be a button you press for the daily prompt in case you needed inspiration for your 750 words that day. I could be a question such as “What are you grateful for today?” or “What happened at 3pm today?” or “Why are you inspired to write today?” etc
New Feature Request Note from pat ricia on Mon, Aug 31
![]() Today I reached my ten-year streak! I could not have believed ten years ago that I would still be writing my 750 words each and every day. It has been an interesting decade, to say the least, love, loss, new beginnings and yet many of the same hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Thank you Buster and Kellianne.
Testimonial Note from Ken McCarthy on Sun, Aug 30
![]() It has helped me work through and think through problems differently! I love using this website.
Testimonial Note from Katherine Tolleson on Sat, Aug 29
![]() Something between 500 and 1000 would be awesome!
New Feature Vote from Charity Jennings on Wed, Aug 26
![]() This last year has been hellish…. with a child in and out of the hospital, divorce, assault, a parents death… just barely keeping myself together. And through it all, every month the note pops up in my email – “You’ve made a contribution to 750words” and its served as a sort of promise to myself that one day I will get to the other side of this hurt, and one day I will be able to return to my writing passion.
Testimonial Note from Anonymous on Tue, Aug 25
![]() I hit 1000 days on Saturday August 22nd, 2020. It hasn’t always been easy or pretty. There have been days where I’ve written through gritted teeth. Days when I’ve dictated my entry on my phone at 11:40. At least two fixed streaks because I don’t know what week I’m on (and I can’t even blame Covid, because they were last year). Having this place where I can come and spew has been amazing for my mental health. Thank you for creating this special and safe place. I have recommended your website to all my workshop participants for the past year and a half. I pay for it happily, because it’s game changing. Keep up the good work.
Testimonial Note from Shadowsinger on Mon, Aug 24
![]() I’m new to the site. I’ve been quickly breaking chains, though. This site has been helpful in breaking away from the idea that a complete novel or non-fiction book should flow immediately from my fingertips. This site just gets you writing. Write, no matter what the content. As with exercise, you can then discern patterns, shift things, focus on things that are working. I love that! No one is perfect. This isn’t published. It’s you! Just you and your writing.
Testimonial Note from LaTonya Gibbs on Sun, Aug 23
![]() Would love to see a badge between The Space Bird (500 days) and The Flying Squirrel (1000 days) because that’s too long without a badge and could easily have people fall off. I do love working towards a badge so I’d totally benefit on this.
New Feature Vote from Niki Torres on Sun, Aug 23
![]() Currently, scheduled time off gets counted such that it’s as if you wrote 750 words on those days. This is nice, but it makes it a bit too easy to increase your streak just by scheduling time off. It would be great if there could be a streak freeze option for scheduled time off, so that the streak will stay the same (neither increase nor go to 0). This way, we can be more motivated to extend our streaks by actually writing, and the feeling of accomplishment when earning streak badges would feel more genuine, even if we had to take some days off.
New Feature Request Note from Monti Cello on Thu, Aug 20
![]() This is the chance to write some thing, and this is the opportunity to learn and write something, If you write everyday you become like master in few months all you need dedication and commitment, I encourage to every one try to write everyday something like your daily plans and future goals, pain, happiness and sad whatever it is just start write
