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 1 cupI initially came across 750words on Twitter – and it has quickly become my favorite (or one of my favorite) parts of my day. Even if I don’t have much to write about – just unloading whatever is in my brain is a great release. I love the stats, checking on my typing speed (such as it is) and just the general opportunity to do something I enjoy every morning.
Testimonial Note from Martha Maddox on Sun, Mar 14
1 cupOne of my best friends and I were talking over dinner about how to overcome various creative blocks, and our frustration with ourselves about quitting on good creative habits. A few days later, as if in answer to this discussion, 750words.com came across my Twitter stream and I’ve been writing every day since. This is notable in the fact of it, and also in the ease (so far). The simple tracking mechanisms and intriguing stats give me the impetus to keep the streak going in ways that writing in a notebook never have. I’m not sure what that says about me, but at this point I’m just delighted that it works.

1 cupThis site is soooo much better (and cheaper) than a therapist. Keep it up!

1 cupI’d just decided to commit to daily writing to work through a career issue (and hopefully unlock some creativity) when I heard about 750words.com. I love the simplicity, security and statisitcs that are a part of using 750words.com. This has been really fulfilling for me, so when I heard that dontaions were welcomed to help keep the site going, it was a no-brainer! I’m getting lots more out of the site than the $ I put into it.

1 cupWhat I love about 750 Words: (1) I get to indulge my right brain creativity and then wake up my left brain with charts & statistics about what I just wrote. (2) It’s like a coffee shop that I get to take with me wherever I tote my Macbook and there’s wifi, even on the patio in my jammies. (3) It offers privacy and solitude with a smidgeon of community. And that’s just the first three things that come to mind.
Testimonial Note from Debora Palmer on Sat, Mar 13
5 cups“Value given for value received,” said my college professor when defining marketing. Nine days ago I discovered 750Words.com and thought, “This is cool.” By the fourth day I said, “This is going to be a valuable tool to help me sort through emotions, situations, relationships, goals—all sorts of things.” Making a donation was simple—I just put my money where I was getting value! My prof was right. Thanks, Buster.

1 cupI love 826 Seattle. It’s the Seattle branch of a great organization that helps improve the written communication skills of youth. Also, each of their centers doubles as a store of some sort. In Seattle it’s a Space Travel stores. Other cities have Super Hero stores, Pirate stores, etc. Check them out.
