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![]() I have been using this tool for many years now. I am moving away from 750words in order to simplify the number of tools I use daily, but I wanted to say thank you for the great blessing this has been in my life. This habit has given me clarity, peace, and productivity. Many thanks!!! Karen
Testimonial Note from Karen Redd on Sat, Feb 19
![]() I write almost exclusively on my iPad to get away from my work setup/desk. A native app instead of a tab in a browser would help me shut away more distractions and focus on just writing.
New Feature Vote from Kate Brennan on Tue, Feb 15
![]() I am so grateful for this wonderful site. It helps me clear my head, it helps me get things processed, and it’s become a wonderful ritual. Please keep this site open forever – it makes such a huge difference. Thank you, profoundly.
Testimonial Note from Rachel Rofe on Tue, Feb 15
![]() If this feature already exists, that’s great! However, I have tried to find a way to increase my monthly membership giving (and have a higher amount come out every month than currently does) and I can’t find how to do this. I know I can make a one-time donation, but it would be cool if those of us who are able could contribute monthly at higher levels and automate that contribution. Thanks for your consideration!
New Feature Request Note from KMFS on Sun, Feb 06
![]() I came across this site after six months of doing morning pages the old fashioned way. I have been pleasantly surprised by how many words I have written. I kind of aspire to a book but didnât think I could write enough. This site has proven otherwise. The quality can only improve with practice so thank you. I have migrated to v2 and signed up for a year. I am hooked.
Testimonial Note from Anonymous on Fri, Feb 04
![]() 750 words has been a game changer, i am so pleased I found the site. I have recently given up being a fixed hours, out of the house employee, to go 100% freelance and work from home. Creating a new work structure has been harder than I expected, what with being a bit lazy and not good in the mornings. The commitment of writing 750 words first thing each day sets me up for steady progress. It stops my inner critic getting the upper hand before I’ve even begun.
Testimonial Note from Lisa W on Thu, Feb 03
![]() I havenât upgraded to the new beta version yet. Iâm not generally an early adopter in the tech arena. I normally let Apple work out their kinks on millions of others before leaping in (unless itâs a security issue). I figure most problems eventually rise to the surface. My main feature request involves the font. Our current font has a vaguely hand-written sensibility which is fine as far as it goes. The most significant issues that have been noted by many over time relates to the interpretation of special characters. Suggestion #1: Standard keyboard special characters such as [ ( , ; : â â ? / ! @ # $ % ^ & * ~ ` _ – + = | | { } ) ] that are nearly universal on computer keyboards should be accommodated and accurately transcribed and recorded. Iâm always somewhat surprised and annoyed when using an apostrophe is translated into a code. Suggestion #2: I love to use additional characters which usually require a combination of keystrokes. My favorites are bullet points ⢠(Mac OS Option 8) and long dash ââ (Mac OS Option _). Those would be a bonus to those suggested under #1 which I think are a top priority. Suggestion #3: Choice of fonts. Allowing users to select their fonts seems like a relatively easy upgrade opportunity. Some users might be so in love with using a particular font while they type and in their subsequent analytical summary that they might be willing to pay some extra amount per month to have that option. Iâm thinking you pick just a handful of fonts that offers particular formal aesthetics like Helvetica, Times New Roman, Gill Sans, Courier, etc. Iâm not suggesting offering dozens of font choices. Rather, I think five or six choices would be wonderful to have. I do realize that getting all of them to operate correctly in connection with their special characters could pose a knotty problem. So choosing the particular fonts that offer the most interoperability and consistency of interpretation might have to take precedence over the purity of aesthetic choices. Thank you, Buster and Kellianne for making all of this possible! We love you more than we can adequately express.
New Feature Request Note from Andrew Raimist on Tue, Feb 01
![]() So good to get back into daily writing with a prompt from 750 Words. I love that it’s a community and we can see that others are working when we are. There’s something motivating about that for me. I also love seeing the stats of what I’ve written—fascinating to see trends and moods! Happy to be a member again.
Testimonial Note from Stephani Roberts on Tue, Feb 01
![]() What an amazing way to start the year – to complete a monthly challenge.
Testimonial Note from Helena Denley on Tue, Feb 01
![]() I think it would be great if we had the option to be billed once a year or monthly. I think yearly installments are more convenient. Thank you!
New Feature Request Note from Jessica1701 on Tue, Feb 01
![]() This is a farewell of sorts. The last time I’ll be using 750wordsv1. It’s been a fun ride… Starting 2/1/22 I am switching over to 750words V2. Signed up for the Feb Challenge and everything. Be well everyone, and hope to see you over there on the new place…coffee is good over there I hear. Bill Wright-lives in District X
Testimonial Note from Bill Wright on Mon, Jan 31
![]() Just passed 365 days of writing and I can not express how grateful I am for this site. It has been an amazing year, and I can’t wait to get to the next milestone. Thank you all so much!!!
Testimonial Note from R. J. Deen on Mon, Jan 31
![]() I like the stats feature because it gives me that feeling of someone else seeing my writing without actually having to share it with anyone else. :)

Testimonial Note from Anonymous on Thu, Jan 27
![]() Would love to see how today’s text compares to my past text analysis (for example, am I growing increasingly more positive? am I mentioning a specific word more often? and so on)

New Feature Vote from Annette G on Tue, Jan 25
![]() There really is no replacement for this site! I’ve been using 750words on and off for a long time. Sometimes I told myself I’d better just type it all on a word document instead… and end up quitting writing altogether until I come back here. There’s something to this site that always brings me back. You help me get things off my chest, get my ideas straight, and give me an excuse to transcribe my manuscript journal so my memories aren’t lost to time if I ever lose that little notebook. Not to mention you’ve taught me how far a little work each day will get you. I went over 80k words some time ago – enough to fill a book – just by writing whatever came to my mind for half an hour each day! Whether it’s the challenge to maintain the streak or that next shiny badge, you keep me writing. And that’s all that matters!
Testimonial Note from Anonymous on Thu, Jan 20
![]() I blew it yesterday and didn’t copy and past in the project I worked on all afternoon, therefore I’ve lost my streak, again. Here are all my cups. I’ll start again today.
Testimonial Note from Anonymous on Wed, Jan 19
![]() I am back here after a break of several years. And I trusted that if I kept showing up, then I would start to find useful things to write about lurking in my brain, not just moans. And after about two weeks of doing it consistently, as well as taking a walk every day, it’s starting to happen. Keep the faith!
Testimonial Note from Louise Marston on Tue, Jan 18
![]() I started writing here back in 2012 when I was a lonely undergraduate student interning in DC. I have written here sporadically over the years, but my most recent stint, beginning in the summer of this year, has been my most consistent and longest period of writing so far. I really appreciate how this site has given me a space to process emotions, reflect on my experiences, and puzzle through work issues. I write every morning now and it is my favorite time of day. Thank you!
Testimonial Note from Sam Smith on Fri, Jan 14
![]() I started using 750 words again after a multiple-year gap and I’ve found it incredibly helpful in the following ways: 1) fights the perfectionism with minimalist design, 2) prevents editing on past days so I can focus on the present, 3) metrics that I can track over time for comparing symptoms such as mood or anxiety and word analytics that helps me assess my state of being, common themes, thinking traps, and emotions (no other site or app offers this feature.) After years of silence, I am finally finding my voice. Thank you from the bottom of my cup <3
Testimonial Note from Sara Maximus on Thu, Jan 13
![]() The results of your writting are only available to see day by day, it would be great if we could have a summarize by a range of dates, or month to date, or weekly. I refer to the stats that show the words that most is used, the feelings while writing, etc….
New Feature Request Note from Michel C Machado on Wed, Jan 12
![]() It’s been 8 years, 5 states, 2 kids, and a cat since I discovered this incredible site + community. And although I haven’t been writing consistently that entire time, 750 words is always something I come back to when I need space to sort myself out. Thank you Kellianne and Buster for all you have done and continue to do. Cheers!
Testimonial Note from Annerz on Mon, Jan 10
![]() Sometimes I wish the writing page had a margin on BOTH sides: left and right.
New Feature Vote from Toni Merflag on Sun, Jan 09
![]() One of the things I love about 750words is starting with a blank sheet. No judgement, no prior expectations, doesn’t matter how long it’s been since I last wrote, it’s there – ready and waiting and welcoming.
Testimonial Note from Paraic Bergin on Sat, Jan 08
![]() It’s given me a quiet space at the end of busy days to sit down and clear my thoughts, and get back in the habit of writing after falling out of it. I can write about what I’ve read, done, or start sketching out drafts of stories, and just knowing that that’s waiting for me before I go to bed means I’m much more settled for my next day. Thank you!
