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![]() Thank you 750words for being here. I have been here on and off since 2016. At first it was really hard just to say what was on my mind. Everything I wrote was still filtered and I couldn’t say everything I had to say. I was too afraid. But the more I wrote the more confident I felt about letting out that jumbled mess of thoughts and emotions I kept tightly held inside. They were things that still choke me up which I can’t tell anyone else about. Just having them out there, out of my head has helped me to calm down and start living instead of reacting. I always come back when I have to work out something in life. Maybe this time around I’ll beat my 44 day streak.
Testimonial Note from Syuha on Wed, Oct 02
![]() It’s comfortable, inviting and fun to use this site to write. I started so many years ago, and I just now, probably ten years later, finished writing for more than thirty days, I think I’ve been writing straight now for 41 days. I can feel, in my writing, and in my levels of focus, what this has done for me. I am writing the first draft of another novel right now, but this daily check in, this place for me to vent or plan or think in writing has helped so much. I don’t write my novel on here, but I do unload thoughts, I write quickly, and I sort out emotions on 750words. This is one of the most positive and helpful sites on the Internet and it’s perfect for me. Thank you. xxSerena A.
Testimonial Note from Serena on Wed, Oct 02
![]() 750 words help me to know myself better and clear my thoughts. It is actually better than meditation. It helps me to identify my negative thoughts, those are not identifiable in general thus help me to neutralize those thoughts and help me to stay positive. I am really grateful that I tried 750 words and i believe i will keep writing here. The best thing is whatever u write is private, password protected and can access anywhere which cannot be done when you write on your personal computer. I am thankful to 750 words innventors for giving me the platform to help myself.
Testimonial Note from Anonymous on Tue, Oct 01
![]() Sometimes writing on my phone is my best option during the day. The only way to do it even kind of well is to use voice-to-text, because typing keeps making it pop up to the top of the page, where I can’t see what I’m doing. I’d love the basic functionality of being able to track the text I’m on. Thanks!
New Feature Vote from Mattia on Tue, Oct 01
![]() Iâve been a member of this site for a very long time and Iâm so grateful for it. While I donât write every day, the times that Iâve come here are often about working through something that simply needs to be spelled out clearly on the page. At 750words.com Iâve worked through internal struggles, relationship issues, a job loss, and a number of other difficulties. Itâs become a sacred space where I not only seek to resolve struggles, but also to explore, to create, and to develop ideas for that book I may write one day or that project that I keep thinking about. Thank you Kellianne and Buster for keeping the doors open here! Itâs been a special place for me.
Testimonial Note from Jason Barmer on Thu, Sep 26
![]() Have the option to add a title for the day’s words. So when viewing the notes archive some or all of your days will have labels. Useful if you write a block of inspired words you think you’ll revisit later.
New Feature Request Note from Jacob Burdick on Tue, Sep 24
![]() I’ve earned many of the current badges. Having some new options would be good. Maybe badges related to writing more then 750 words each day for a streak.
New Feature Vote from Charity Jennings on Tue, Sep 24
![]() I have had a 750 words account since 2012. In these preceding 7 years, every time i have felt the need to really think something through, or try to cement new habits, I have turned to 750words to write it down and make a written commitment to myself. I have never found so effective tool for helping sort out my scattered thoughts as 750words – so thank you for creating such an amazing tool!
Testimonial Note from Joel Carlson on Tue, Sep 24
![]() Different badges can be really a fun incentive to keep using the site. If you need help with suggestions I’d be happy to help out with ideas.
New Feature Vote from ZeeMan on Tue, Sep 24
![]() Having a secure server will make the intimate journals shared on the site more secure. I vote for that feature.
New Feature Vote from ZeeMan on Tue, Sep 24
![]() This site is awesome! It has helped me learn more about myself in a good way. Thanks 750 words.
Testimonial Note from Marcus R Alba on Mon, Sep 23
![]() Llevo tres dÃas escribiendo en 750words y el programa me parece excelente. Existen diferentes motivaciones para mantenerse constante fomentando el saludable hábito de escribir todos los dÃas. Este ejercicio me parece fabuloso no solamente por salud mental sino para mejorar mis habilidades de escritura. Es precisamente lo que estaba buscando desde hace tiempo.
Testimonial Note from Juan Carlos Oyuela on Sun, Sep 22
![]() I almost gave up and quit! Something very devastating happened to me this month. It brought me to the pit of despair and I was physically, and emotionally Ugh, Ugh. This seems funny and like a child I suppose, needing the validation of the badges and points, but sometimes, I need that and it helps keep me going when life is hard.
Testimonial Note from Anonymous on Sat, Sep 21
![]() Today I reached my 1724th day in a row. This website has helped me when I’ve needed to write a story, needed to rant or get the word count done for NaNoWriMo. When I’ve needed to get something off my chest, it’s been a listening ear and I wouldn’t be without it. Here’s to another four and a half years. Thank you 750 words. xxxx
Testimonial Note from Laura Parish on Fri, Sep 20
![]() Thank you for providing a fun space to express myself. I love the stats tools at the end of every day and I LOVE being able to go back and search what I have written. These features alone make it worth the monthly contribution. Keep up the good work guys!
Testimonial Note from Dana Portwood on Wed, Sep 18
![]() I fail a lot. I don’t make it every day, or even most days anymore. But that is okay. The point is to train yourself to think a certain way, to express yourself, to process your feelings. This site has helped so much with that, and still it is a safe place for my most complicated, tangled thoughts. The badges and the stats are so helpful, they keep you going. In the beginning. But after a while, you have to let them go. Life changes. It sweeps you on to newer, different, time consuming, and sometimes wordless things. And that is also good. Thank you for being there when I needed you 750, and thanks for being what I need you to be when I don’t.
Testimonial Note from Morgan on Tue, Sep 17
![]() 1,641 Days, 1424,974 Words, and a 1,000 Day streak. I found 750 Words on January 13, 2015 (or, maybe 750 Words found me). This was a time when my life was in turmoil and chaos, and I had no idea what was about to happen. I found this to be a place where I could come and process what was going on, dump all the anxieties and stress out of my brain and on to the “page”, and keep grounded. It became an anchor in my life. It has been here to help me work through problems, celebrate successes, make to-do lists, revisit my past, and plan for the future. It has been life saving. So, on this day that I hit the 1,000 mark streak, I wanted to say thank you to Buster and Kellianne, for making this place available. You guys rock!
Testimonial Note from Linus Édouard Delacroix on Tue, Sep 17
![]() Yes, I am interested in seeing more of the text analytics labels. In particular the mindset, feeling etc.. labels across time.. and against/grouped by word-counts. May be this can be made a paid version too.I’d pay for it.
New Feature Vote from nandhini anand on Mon, Sep 16
![]() Today I am leaving 750 words. It has been a place of amazing discovery, exploration and liberation. It has become a place where I search deep within, face my demons, call out to God and know myself to be loved and forgiven unconditionally.
Testimonial Note from Anonymous on Mon, Sep 16
![]() night/dark mode option please
New Feature Request Note from minori time on Sun, Sep 15
![]() when i try to write on my phone browser it loads in a clunky way and leads to distractions being counted when they wouldn’t in an app, i think.
New Feature Vote from minori time on Mon, Sep 09
![]() It would be awesome to have some badges for certain types of writing, e.g. fantasy, thriller, etc.
New Feature Vote from Simon Ilincev on Thu, Sep 05
![]() I haven’t been on this site for some time, but when I was using it, my mind was a lot clearer and my creativity was at an all time high. I have a personal website that I manage, but 750 Words allows me to write just for me and not put anything out on my personal site that is on topic. 750 Words allows me freedom to say what I want to myself, or pretend I’m saying them to others. It allows me to be positive and negative and is a GREAT primer to get other creative pursuits going. The past few nights, I’ve been laying in bed just wanting to write and I was again reminded of this site. So here I am, again trying to build up my streaks and prepare myself for my writing job. I’m thankful that since the days of Live Journal are basically behind me, there is still a place to write my thoughts. And it is so much fun to see how much you can write in a day, and to get that streak going. It really makes it so you don’t want to miss a day.
Testimonial Note from Deanna G W Straw on Wed, Sep 04
![]() Writing at 750 words leaves me elevated and with a sense of freedom. If I am stuck with a thought, or a decision, or am wanting to write a document but can’t seem to get started, I start here, and by the time I am done with my 750 words here, I have almost always cleared the block. And the satisfaction of keeping the streak going is quite enlivening!
Testimonial Note from Navjeet K Bawa on Mon, Sep 02
![]() I’d love to see links at top and bottom of a day’s writing when I’m rereading that go to the next and previous days written. Skip any days not written on — hopefully I’ll have few enough of those, but.
New Feature Request Note from elms on Mon, Sep 02
![]() I would like to see the writing page saved in the same manner that it was written. I’ve noticed some paragraphs seem to move around when I go back days later to review.
