The text analysis sometimes highlights things that I haven’t even mentioned.

I absolutely agree. If I hadn’t of been writing 750 words every day and gotten in the habit, I certainly wouldn’t be doing NaNoWriMo right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I haven’t been a member long, but I am in favor of anything that benefits 750 words. What a wonderful site! And such an encouragement for writers. It has really given me inspiration, so I am behind any decision.

Since I’ve started using this site in July, I’ve written for 124 days (with a couple of scheduled days off – thank you for this feature!). It’s helped me clear my head in the morning, tease my thoughts out onto the page, and improve my writing skills. Thank you 750words!

750 words has changed my life. I use it for ALL my writing needs, not just NANOWRIMO…but I tell ya, you guys are the absolute best :)

An iPhone app would be a GAME CHANGER!!!

Similar to the daily recaps. I want to see, on a longer timeline, the trends I go through, but more aggregated. What are the names that I refer to more regularly over time? Am I getting happier? Are my concerns changing? Stuff like that but aggregated and trended.

5 million. No, those five million words aren’t often a story, they’re often just the day-to-day blather of someone just trying to get his word count higher, or the somewhat incoherent ramblings brought on by trying to make sense of my day, or venting about the day. But, somehow, over these past ten-ish years, I’ve managed to string together what would be the equivalent of 100 NaNoWriMo novels. Thank you, Buster and Kellianne, for giving me the room in which to do so. I hope I grow in the future, and I hope that 750 words is right there with me to help me grow further.

I feel like, the only time I feel like a writer is doing the act of writing. Even when I’ve finished an entry, I read it back and some bits of it is good, but I feel like I’m creating something on this site. It’s housed my creativity and my mental health. I’m grateful for this site; some people pray and go to church. I come here.

i have never committed to any daily practise until this one, and now i’m at 96 days, 3 full months of every day writing, and i am so delighted and thrilled. THANK YOU 750words for being the catalyst for this fundamental shift in my life.

I would find it handier to have an offline mobile app, that can save the entries until connected to the wifi, especially when we are in trains and buses, when most thoughts flood

Greetings the great team behind the site!

I would like to spread a little idea I read and agree upon from another member

I think making it possible to highlight, italicize, and add notes (like as a form of reflecting when reading an old page)..

This site has gotten me through some dark times. Times when my mind and emotions were a maelstrom. It helped me unpack these overwhelming thoughts and feelings and read my progress towards peace. It is a way for me to communicate to myself when I think that no one else is willing to listen.

I love this site, and even though it makes me sad when I miss a day or just miss getting enough words down to complete the monthly challenges (which happened yesterday — argh), I couldn’t be more grateful for having such an effective mechanism to get my thoughts out of my head and get my ducks in a row for the day’s tasks. And needless to say, in giving me daily writing practice, it helps me keep my prose style in good working condition. Thank you Buster and Kellianne!

It would be nice to have the ability to italicize, underline, and bold things. Even just using keyboard shortcuts would be nice.

I’ve been a member since 2012 and I cannot remember how I found this site, but it’s been such a joy. Now, I haven’t used it consistently that whole time, but rediscovering it recently, I’m just so glad it’s still here and still reliable. It’s helped me commit to living a more aware life and committing to a little creativity each day! I hope everyone has a chance to use 750words!

Thanks to the steady maintenance of this site over many years, I have been able to write, stop writing, and return to writing as needed. And this year for the first time, I am inspired to join NaNoWriMo. Thanks, 750words! You’ve been a faithful partner and friend, and I look forward to many more hours together.

I’ve only finished my 7-day streak ever today, but I want to say that I’m very happy that I signed up for 750 words. It was difficult getting to this point, but there’s really no bad or ideal time to start such a useful habit as journaling. Ever since I made it a daily habit of getting all my thoughts and feelings of the moment down onto something external, I’ve been feeling a lot lighter and more focused in how I spend my day and time. Some advice on the approach I’ve taken so far that was really successful for me: use this time also to construct what your perfect day would be and, more occasionally, check in with what your goals for the week, month, and life are (what is your best self like? how do you want to show up for others? what do you want in your life now vs. a day,week,month,year, or decade later?). this keeps the conversation with yourself productive and focused, while leaving some time to be silly or vent whatever it is that you’re feeling or going through. initially, i really struggled with using 750 words because it seemed like such an overwhelming amount to write in a fairly short period of time, but as soon as i redirected my energies outward, towards conceptualizing how i wanted to be as a person, for my relationships, and in my goals, i found myself easily meeting or overachieving this quota. for more tips/inspiration on what to ask yourself each morning via 750words, i recommend checking out brendon burchard on youtube! thank you, 750 words, for existing for people like me who is more comfortable typing than writing in a daily journal. :-)

Woo-hoo! A new morning pages milestone: today I got my million words badge! Since starting here in 2010, this site has become a huge part of my practice as a writer & lecturer. I’m often extolling the virtues of 750words.com and morning pages online, on Twitter & to my students – but thought it was high time I raised a few cups here. Thanks for providing a safe space for our feelings & ideas. Keep writing, everybody!

I continue to amaze myself as I “better my best” with my writing. 750 Words keeps me focused and on track. I was the person who always wanted to write but talked about it more than doing it. Now I write every day, throughout the day and it has grown my business along with my confidence and self esteem. For whatever ails you and all that inspires you, keep writing!

I’ve written here in spurts. I’ll write every day for a couple of months, and then abandon it for three. But I keep coming back. I’m currently at the end of a job, with nothing planned going forward. Coming here every day, writing down what is rattling around in my head, is helping me to find a path forward. Here, I can start to map out my next adventure, write down my dreams, and imagine the possibilities. This has become my sounding board, my safe place to vent, and the repository of my dreams. I would be lost without it.

writing on this site in my mobile browser is clunky and i’d prefer a tidy app. thank you!

I haven’t been very good at sticking with things in my life. I’ve hit 109 days in a row and aside from waking up, I don’t think I’ve done anything that many days in a row. It’s nice. The content isn’t always enthralling (it may just be “So Sleepy.” repeated 375 times) but it is consistent. I appreciate the place to come to be accountable. And I look forward to hundreds more in a row.

This website has been a vital component in my commitment to hold myself accountable to good writing habits, and for gathering statistics about monthly word counts.

I signed up for 750 words a long time ago already. I never had the phase when I used it extensively. However it has always helped me extremely to get troubling and positive thoughts of my mind and get creative whenever I did use it.

Now that I am about to have a proper job and finished studying, I am back at it again. Let’s see how long I stick to it (hopefully for a loooong time).

I have really enjoyed this site. At first I was trying to use it to get some novel work completed. But I have found the free writing to keep me on task with my goals and to work out some challenges that I face with my new position at work. Thank you for creating this site!
