Use Cups of Encouragement to let writers give the Little Train Engine badge to other writers to encourage them to keep on writing. Whether it’s someone on their 6th day of writing or someone on their 1,357th day of writing, let writers know that we’re all rooting for each other to keep going.

Liked the different colours in the bar chart to match my mood. Now their back to one colour – please restore the colour-coded bar chart.

And +3 too to badge counts (I’d specialise in being a Pegasus…)

To whoever the heck reads this,
These darker hours of the morning, when the stars are just visible and the streets are dim and cold, we find our usual place, by the window. Open the computer and type in ‘75’ then quickly ‘Enter’ as the sentences start pouring out. Dexterous fingers command a supply of ink that must be infinite. Darling beams break through the window, over the horizon, warming our hands as they write. A smile creeps up on our cheek. We close the computer to address the stunning landscape. The shapes of peoples noses as they laugh. The redness of their cheeks as the dark charming eyes of a stranger permeate their thinly-veiled form. The greatest challenge now, is to forget writing, and endure the eternity hahahem remain open to inspiration, until twilight the next morning.

I would LOVE to see a more robust mobile site. One that offers similar features to the full site. For now, it is good enough when I need to write and all I have is my phone. But it still leaves a lot to be desired.

I have to say I have tried 750 several times. And many may use this for writing fiction or non-fiction. But I have found it is more useful as a daily journal in helping me stay organized at work and home. It has become a great place for me to collect my thoughts throughout the day and keep track of them over time. In this way 750 has really developed into a tool of value for me. And maybe someday I will try writing fiction, non-fiction, or poetry, but for now, this is a great place that helps me show up everyday. Thank you!

This site has enables me to focus on my writing as a full time activity in my life. Since joining in April of 2018 I have written and published two books of more than 30K words, as well as contributing to and publishing a book of baseball short stories. I am now a writer and 750 Words validates my choice. I have also shared this site with thousands of people who have each benefited in their own way. Thank you, Buster and Kellianne!

Just went past 4 million words tonight. I’m totally awestruck. It’s not publishable for sure, but it’s my life I’m writing—and it’s been a great joy to do it. I know that I would never have been able to write so consistently except for 750 Words. Thank you again and again, Buster and Kellianne—and all the rest of you in the sweet writing community on this site. Peace and blessings to you all.

I’ve not been doing this for very long, but I love it so much and I think I’ve really been able to dump things out of my brain with the 750 words, and I think I’ve been much more creative without all the junk in the way.

1 cup

I’d like to be able to see how many times I earned a badge.

i.e. How many times I’ve made it 3 days in a row, or 100. How many times I’ve gotten the earlybird or cheetah, etc.

Aren’t you darling?! I had planned to use up my 30 free days and then decide whether to join, but after four days I just couldn’t wait any longer. I’m in. This is such a cute, great, motivating idea and I believe I’m joining a great community. Regardless of each person’s end goal of writing, doing it daily like this is the best meditation going. Thank you, and hi everybody!

I have written every day for 2,121 days. Sometimes I was sick, sometimes it was late, sometimes I had nothing to say and said over and over and most times I came to the blank page and felt I had nothing to say yet poured out my heart and left sorrow and pain on the page and left the chair in front of the computer screen, feeling lighter.

I think the badges are one of the most encouraging parts of this website! Definitely keep them coming!

Plz revert the change to this comic-sans-like font?

This may already exist and I don’t know where to find it, but I was thinking today about the number of days out of the total since I started that I HAVE posted; even though I’ve had many broken streaks, I’m guessing that the percentage of days since joining the site that I have posted has to be pretty high. But I can’t find anywhere to retrieve this info. It would be a pick me up when I break a streak, though, to be able to say “yes, but my overall average is 99.99% :-DDD”

When I was a kid in school I used to love to write. I would carry a notebook around with my everywhere I went. But as I got older, I loved the idea of writing but I drifted further and further from actually doing it every year that went by. Using 750 Words has helped me get back into writing again. Waking up and using it to sit and type out my thoughts on the day has broken a block living inside me and made it easier to write in a more structured way again and pursue doing what I love again. Writing has always been so important to me and 750 Words has given that back to me after years of not being able to tap into my “muse.”

To Buster: My stats page looked really weird tonight. I don’t mind the colorful banner at the top, but my badges were all over the page. I’d much rather they were in simple rows as they were before. I do love the aqua color on some of the drop down menus. Thanks.

First, you have badges for streaks (days in a row) but no badges for completed days. Completed days shows an accumulation of total progress and you are already collecting this statistic. Here are potential levels for completed days: 7, 30, 90, 180, 365, 750, 1,000, 1,400, 1,800, 2,500. Gives people in the 1,000+ day streak additional badge opportunities as well.

Second, I’d rather have a completed day badge beside my name, showing progress even if intermittent, than a streak badge that may end because I was travelling.

I have just started therapy and I have been using 750 Words as a place to deposit all the stuff that is coming up and out during my sessions and while I do my “homework”. I realize that writing has always been my salvation, and I have let it languish for far too long. the pen is rusty, but it still writes. Thank you, 750 Words, for being my safe space.

I absolutely love badges! It really helps motivate me. I think earning badges for not only days but word count would be nice! It would be optional, of course, as to not discourage those who can only write 750 words. I just think I could really push myself to 1000 words a day if I knew I could get a badge from it ^^

I have been struggling for the past 6 months with returning to work after maternity leave and raising my son on my own. Being able to write every day had cleared my mind of all the garbage and negativity that holds me back. I feel like it may have saved a few of my friends from some crazy rants as well. Thank you

There are long gaps between badges over 100 days. I would recommend a few more bdages for 150, 250, 750 days etc.

1 cup

Maybe I am mistaken, but it seems that you’ve changed one of the fonts on the site!! Nice job, it is kind a more individual and suits you well. Thanks for being. ))

750 words has become quickly my daily go-to. Woke up a schosch late and little anxious today. I really wanted my cup o’Joe and to write, instead of my usual morning routine of QiGong and meditation first, and write freely I did. This mornings writing provided a better understanding of not only my nerves today, but ultimately my deeper self, and I’m now looking forward to starting my day. Thank you ~ I’m also looking forward to sharing more hot coffee with y’all.
