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.

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).

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.

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!

When you become a writer
Words imprisoned in your head
Flow from your fingers into the world
Where they may, or may not, be read.
But to see them liberated
Independent, living lives of their own
That is your joy, the joy of a parent
The fulfilment of you, the writer.

I am very glad that I found this site so that it works! Maybe it sounds obvious, on the contrary, it seems really useful to start writing. Thank you for this brilliant invention!

It would be lovely to somehow mark the special entries that you would like to come back to one day. Then, when looking back through your old entries you would know which to read, rather than having to search through loads of less relevant entries to find your favourite ones. Perhaps after finishing such an entry you could give it a “star”?

Dear Buster and Kellianne, I love the site as it is, but since you’re working on the updates, would it be possible to include some kind of an automated export feature? I’d love to have my entries backed up automatically to Gdrive, or Dropbox, or any other entry. Barring that, at least the ability to backup the entire archive at once, as a mass download, and maybe a once-a-month built in remainder?
I’ve been using 750 for a very long time, and it holds a lot of precious memories and minutia for me. Sometimes servers fail or other stuff happens (::knocks on wood::), and the idea of losing all this worries me.
Thank you! And thank you for your tireless and amazing work.

750 is honestly one of my most favorite and most often used websites. It does exactly what it needs to do – provides me with clean, friendly, organized, fast, smooth place to morning pages – and does it with verve, kindness, human touch and great effectivity. I’ve been using it for more than six years, and for the last four of them my every morning began with 750 words written there, without fail. It’s one of the best mental self-care tools in my arsenal, and my life would’ve been much poorer without it. Viva la 750 ♥

I used to make the excuse that I didn’t have enough time to write. I also didn’t know what I wanted to write about. Now that I have found 750 Words, I can write whatever comes to my mind, and it declutters my mind. It helps me to reflect on my day or just express my feelings. It’s also fun to see the stats and participate in the challenges. I can’t wait to write everyday. No more excuses.

I just became aware of any amazing 750 Words feature! If you go to ‘This Month’ and then ‘June Writers’, you can search all of your entries on the write (in the Search bar). I’m not sure how long this feature is been available, but I just discovered it after being on this site for 6+ years! Thank you for this very handy search function! And thanks for continuing to keep this site up and running for those of us who return day after day!

I have started to write more w/m now by writing each day. I helps me build stories more. It gives me more confidence in my writing as well. I am so glad I found this writing site. I think it’s awesome.

This little website more than anything has helped motivate me to write more often and everyday! And I love it!!

I find myself wishing that I could set my own word goal rather than it always being 750 words. I know that’s the name and everything, and I’ve been able to achieve streaks with that goal. But when I get to the point in writing my stories where I’m editing and perfecting – 200 words takes a LOT more effort than in the initial brainstorming phase. And when I was trying for 750 words each day, I tended to only do initial drafts, and I found myself less motivated to work on the polishing phase of my writing because that made it harder to meet the daily goal. Which I realized was counter productive to meeting my writing goals, and I had to purposely make myself break my 750 word streak so as not to get caught up in that phase of my writing. (It was sooo sad!!)

And sometimes, 750 words just isn’t my personal goal. Sometimes, I’m thrilled when I get 300 words in a day for multiple days in a row. And so I wish I had a way of editing the definition of an x vs a / in my daily record. Like just a field somewhere where I could input my own goal. And then the x’s (and maybe score board) would reflect my own personal goals. And maybe one additional stat on the life long stats (you started daily pages 78% of the time since joining, you’ve completed daily pages 34% of the time (still based on 750 words), and you could add “You’ve met your personal goal 56% of the time”.

It could be separate from earning badges or meeting monthly challenges. Since those have a social aspect to them and we should all be held to the same standards for earning badges.

Anyway, it would be cool!!

It would be great to see a grading or metric for accuracy in my writing! I usually go in and fix typos, but i’m loving how this checks my WPM, and in addition to that i’d love to see how my accuracy is improving as i go along. Thanks so much for this site i love its simplicity.

I really love your site and I have been writing everyday since I signed up in May. However since I mainly write in French I would love it if the text analysis also supported this language.
Take care and keep up the good work!

Would love to see this! One that can work in areas with poor connectivity. I work on boats so get an opportunity to upload/download once a day.
