The Friends & Members of 750 Words

1 cup

I am so glad to have found 750 words. Buster makes the coolest stuff that makes me think about what I’m doing and keep track of it.
Reflection is wonderful and now that I have a space that isn’t public, but is available and will give me all sorts of statistics it’s getting my creative juices flowing and resulting in doing more stuff both publicly and privately.
Thanks and cheers!

Introspection is awesome! :)

Thank-you so much Buster for all your hard work on this site. It is very useful to me. Looking forward to all the new features! Thanks!

I would like to be able to buy my way back into the Monthly Challenge. Like say a drunk bee totally monopolized my day, I could trade you some lattes for a little amnesty. I seriously fear the Wall of Shame. You should exploit that for money. : )

Years ago I used to write every day, but I fell out of the habit, especially since I wrote online and found myself having to censor what I was really feeling. It was something I missed a lot, but nothing I’d tried had gotten me back into the habit.

Today is the start of week four. The motivation of seeing things x-ed off, the badges, watching the word counter increase and wondering how fast I can get to 750 words today and what my total will be when I’m done – all of that has helped me keep up with it.

Thank you for helping me find my words again.

Though I’ve missed a few days on the site due to travel/connectivity issues, I did my own offline journaling on those days and this site’s gotten me into the habit of writing at length every single day. It’s worked so well that this month I challenged myself to do 1000 words a day. It was a success! Next month it’ll be 1250 :) Thanks so much Buster!

The site’s awesome, obviously, but yesterday I got a distraction ding because my internet connection and/or browser went flaky. I posted on the support site, and less than 24 hours later Buster fixed the problem!

I’m very impressed with all the support / features / updates …basically everything Buster brings to the site and community.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

You earned it, kids.

A quick note of what to write about the following day or in the near future.

Maybe you have read or thought of something later that day you want to journal about. Log into the website, and type it in real quick as reminder to explore those thoughts the next day.

Another implementation involves sending a message, i.e. an email or text, to your 750words.com account and have the list without having to login. This would open the door for mobile updates.

What do you think of the name? It’s intended to be a play on “To-do” lists while at the same time connotating more writing.

I’d love to be able to decouple my account from Facebook and transition it to my Google account. I’m trying to close my Facebook account and this is one of the last sites that has me tied to it. Think that will ever be a possibility?

I would love to receive the previous days daily statistics summary each morning via email.

Thanks so much for this site! I generally like to keep my writing on paper and pen, but who am I kidding, this is so much easier for someone who moves around as much as I do and it’s so much more fun! I’m majoring in engineering and mathematics so it’s really cool to write and also see an analysis of my writing. Thanks again, and keep it up!

Yay!

Thank you for being an encouraging and enabling force in helping me get this mess out of my head (almost) each day.

I came across this site on March 10th and started to use it not too frequently. But honestly … now I realize how much 750words help me to clear my head and figure out stuff about myself. My psychiatrist couldn’t help me half as much as this website already did. I just use it as some sort of diary but I just realized again how much better I feel after making my entry and how I see things more clearly… So yeah. Thank you so much for this website!

The language pattern analysis, displayed for the words of each day, seems to be based on English language references.
Although I can write fluently in English, I choose to write my words in French, my native language. The current analysis algorithm still does a somewhat decent (as in, not completely random) job.
I would like to be able to choose for each day the language to perform semantic analysis. Still better, the language could be recognized automatically.

I don’t consider myself a writer by any means. I’ve completed just a handful of days here and I’m enjoying it immensely. I’ve found that I really look forward to clearing my head, and when I’m done I want to write more, so I head over to my blog and let it spill out there. Thanks for creating such a great space.

I’ve gone through the Artist’s Way trip a couple of times, keeping up with the morning pages during the twelve weeks, but never really enjoying it, and the habit never stuck around for very long afterward. 750 words has hit the sweet spot in my stubborn brain to actually get me to do my daily brain-dump writing in a way that pen and paper couldn’t. So, hooray for that!

Already I’ve found 750 Words devilishly fun and rewarding. Thanks for putting together such a great site! There’s few things more freeing than a space shout it all out and liberate your thoughts. Keep up the awesome work!

Thank you Buster! We appreciate your creation and showing it is what patronage is all about. What you have done with this site truly is inspiring and you have done a most excellent job. A million thanks!

Another 750 words written today. I can’t think of a better testimonial than that.

In January, I started writing because it seemed like fun, and anytime I’ve taken a Buster idea and run with it, it has made my life better. Things were rocky and weird and I was tired of unloading everything on hapless bystanding friends.

And along came a love affair with 750words. I’ve been preaching the gospel to anyone who’ll listen, anyone whose brain is too noisy to get things done, writers, artists, office people, students, everyone.

I’ve missed two days since then — one in the beginning, before I realized The Gravity Of Said Decision, and one in February’s Challenge, which was crushing. But every day I write, I take the mental chatter down a notch. And that, to me, is a gift more precious than I knew I could give myself every single day.

Plus, it’s gotten me in the habit of being early for work, so I can sit down and write first thing. I’d been trying every trick in the book for that one, but it was 750words, of all things, that made it happen.

Thanks, Buster.

I’d like to see my all-time point score and not just this month’s score. And maybe even a global scoreboard averaged over how many days I’ve been on the site to give a ranking on where everyone is. Just more game stuff to keep it interesting when I miss my monthly goal and have to wait until next month to join in the fun again.

There would be an option to input a username instead of just using the name pulled from Facebook. I do not really want my real name on all the various lists, but I wouldn’t mind putting up a username.

A great idea, elegantly executed. Carry on!

What a great idea and well-implemented site! Thank you for encouraging and inspiring others!
