The Friends & Members of 750 Words

I have been using this site to dump my thoughts and emotions since 2011. It’s been very helpful in allowing me to deal with stress. I have tended to write throughout the day.

Today is a huge milestone for me – a 100-day writing streak! 750words.com has been instrumental in being able to achieve this goal. The pared-down format keeps me focused on the words and writing instead of futzing about which, as someone who has ADHD, it’s easy to get off track. I’ve enjoyed the monthly challenges, which I’m using to prepare for NaNoWriMo. That 1,667ish words/day requirement has always been so daunting that I would give up about a third of the way through the month. But now, 750+ words feels like I’m just getting started! So, huge thanks, Buster and Kellianne, for this website!!

I don’t know what I would do without 750words right now. I actually stopped writing here for a year, and came back this February, not realizing what lay ahead. This site has been a brain and emotion dump, it makes me feel stronger. I can write out my fears and see how crazy some of them are. The badges are silly, but silly is good right now when everything seems so damn serious. Thank you for a wonderful site and for all you do to keep it up and running.

Today, I reached my 2000th day in a row. 750 words has become such an important part of my day and I just wanted to say thank you for creating such a great space for writers.

750words helped me go through my emotions. It’s easier now to understand myself and be more aware in everyday life!

I found this site some time ago, but have only recently been more consistent with my writing. It has helped me to clear my head and has encouraged me to unlock and develop my creativity and imagination. I can see my mood and my unconscious thoughts a lot clearer on the page. I have recommended this site to friends in the hope that they too can feel the positive effects of thought dumping. it is great to see that there are so many members who are feeling the positive benefits too.

Couple of days without this and my mind is whirring and full to the brim!. I can notice and feel the difference when i don’t type it all.
love my daily psych dump!

For the past 7-8 years I have dipped into 750 Words…sometimes. There was one whole month where I wrote every day, and many months when I didn’t write at all. I’m now on my 16th consecutive day, wrestling with all of the family issues that have come up during quarantine, and it’s been really valuable to have a place to pick it apart and then look at it all as a whole. I get the idea of writing the rage out in longhand and tearing it up, but that wouldn’t serve me right now. 750 Words is my place for reflection, for revisiting my past thoughts and feelings, for seeing how far I’ve come. I hope this streak lasts a lot longer, but if not, 750 Words (unlike me) has no judgment—I can always come back.

I love this website, but I would love for there to be an option to highlight portions of the written text. I also liked the idea some people mentioned previously of staring an entry to be able to find it easier later on.

I highly recommend using the metadata feature to track things that matter to you! It is important to me to be self-aware and continue to grow. And so I have created a number of tags and now I have an inventory of items in my mind! Things I have tracked include FEAR, REALIZATION, STORY, APPRECIATION … and many more, but those have been the most impactful. I can see patterns of personality that have been problematic, and things I want to work on… very helpful if you are in therapy or doing any other kind of self-improvement type work. (and if you use this site, i have a hunch that you are!)

My vote is more about enabling offline writing. An iPhone and Mac App would help enable that

I’ve been writing here for 7 years! I’m so grateful for this space. Thank you so much!
I notice myself holding back sometimes when I remember that the server here might not be so secure (is it HTTP that would do the job?)
So grateful!

Catch-all coffee cup here. What a sweet and supportive website for humans to know themselves better. Thank you so much! I am SO TICKLED by the stats page. I vote for a more secure server (we are in a revolution here!) and I’d love a search feature to track down trains of thought and important expressions. Thanks again. I’ve mostly journaled with pen and paper, but this is so fun and makes for good ritual in the modern day. It’s not so much the getting of the badges that is so endearing, but that you thought to offer them in a playful way. My inner child is delighted. I love it. Cheers!

I can only speak highly of 750words.com. I write every day, but with a plot or a narrative already established. To be able to write anything and everything on my mind has released so much rubbish that it has cleared my mind to be able to write more productively and concisely.

All I can say is thank you and happy writing!

I’d really like if this site was to be hosted securely, using HTTPS. It would make me feel much more safe and secure using it, and I’d feel more comfortable opening up in my notes.

I love 750 Words! I think that beginning this has been a real turning point in my life. I am very much a creature of habit and consistently writing everyday has made start doing other things everyday as well. Exercise, reading, playing music, and lots more. Do a challenge and earn those badges, it’s more satisfying than you would think. If you’re trying to make a positive change in your life than doing the 750 Words a day is great starting point. See where it leads you!

Which markup language works here? It would be great to be able to format with < p > new paragraph, bold and italics without using markup. Since it varies and I don’t know it well I’m having trouble figuring out how to get it right.

1 cup

I like the suggestion of being able to mark particular entries with a “star” to make them easier to find later on. (someone else mentioned this).

Encryption FTW!

750words is the only place where i could be honest without fear of offending anyone and without fear of making a poor impression or jeopardizing a relationship.I am grateful for all the hard work Buster and Kellianne has put into this site.

1 cup

I’ve been a member since the early days, recommend it all the time, and just want to say again, “Thanks”. You both have lives outside of 750 so I appreciate you putting in time to keep this site up! It’s a life changer!

I lost the challenge this month, but I plan to be back at it again next month.

I originally found 750words while looking for a simple journal interface – something that would let me diary in a very minimalist interface with a DARK MODE, and 750words fit the bill perfectly.

Since then it has consistently challenged me to write more and more, and I find that I have a clearer than ever vision of my life as a result.

I get much more writing practice out of this than I would have thought. Since starting I’ve written 59 daily pages – that’s at least 44000 words, and I went over 750 on many of those entires! 44000 words just about me and my life. That’s extraordinary.

It’s lit a creative fire under me and helped clear my mind. This site is the best.

Please could we have a star option to mark Important days writing so we can go back easily to a landmark? Or a search feature?

Hi 750 words team!
I discovered the site through Sleep With Me Podcast and I haven’t read the Artist’s Way although it’s on my to do list!
I use this as mostly a free form writing space, poetry, angry rants, occasionally dissecting Buzzfeed quizzes most recently and I hardly ever share but you’ve inspired me to think about writing a blog!
Sometimes I handwrite and then do a type up/rant or sometimes just leave the handwritten one. It helps my mental health so much!
