Maybe some more customization options, stickers, buttons, anything subtly interactive and engaging.

It could be a button you press for the daily prompt in case you needed inspiration for your 750 words that day. I could be a question such as “What are you grateful for today?” or “What happened at 3pm today?” or “Why are you inspired to write today?” etc

Today I reached my ten-year streak! I could not have believed ten years ago that I would still be writing my 750 words each and every day. It has been an interesting decade, to say the least, love, loss, new beginnings and yet many of the same hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Thank you Buster and Kellianne.

It has helped me work through and think through problems differently! I love using this website.

Something between 500 and 1000 would be awesome!

This last year has been hellish…. with a child in and out of the hospital, divorce, assault, a parents death… just barely keeping myself together. And through it all, every month the note pops up in my email – “You’ve made a contribution to 750words” and its served as a sort of promise to myself that one day I will get to the other side of this hurt, and one day I will be able to return to my writing passion.
Thank you Buster and Kellianne for being here, for making this site and holding the promise for me when I couldn’t hold it for myself.

I hit 1000 days on Saturday August 22nd, 2020. It hasn’t always been easy or pretty. There have been days where I’ve written through gritted teeth. Days when I’ve dictated my entry on my phone at 11:40. At least two fixed streaks because I don’t know what week I’m on (and I can’t even blame Covid, because they were last year).

Having this place where I can come and spew has been amazing for my mental health. Thank you for creating this special and safe place. I have recommended your website to all my workshop participants for the past year and a half.

I pay for it happily, because it’s game changing.

Keep up the good work.

I’m new to the site. I’ve been quickly breaking chains, though. This site has been helpful in breaking away from the idea that a complete novel or non-fiction book should flow immediately from my fingertips. This site just gets you writing. Write, no matter what the content. As with exercise, you can then discern patterns, shift things, focus on things that are working. I love that! No one is perfect. This isn’t published. It’s you! Just you and your writing.

Would love to see a badge between The Space Bird (500 days) and The Flying Squirrel (1000 days) because that’s too long without a badge and could easily have people fall off. I do love working towards a badge so I’d totally benefit on this.

Currently, scheduled time off gets counted such that it’s as if you wrote 750 words on those days. This is nice, but it makes it a bit too easy to increase your streak just by scheduling time off. It would be great if there could be a streak freeze option for scheduled time off, so that the streak will stay the same (neither increase nor go to 0). This way, we can be more motivated to extend our streaks by actually writing, and the feeling of accomplishment when earning streak badges would feel more genuine, even if we had to take some days off.
Thank you!

I had been searching for a better journaling method for years. Handwriting has always been too slow, but typing into my notes app or a word document always lead to distractions and made it difficult for me to revisit past journaling sessions. I tried to build a journaling habit several dozen times over the last couple years, each time trying a different journaling app, but never lasted more than a couple of days. On the 750 words free trial, something about the simplicity of the app and the built-in accountability/tracking features made it very easy for me to pick up the habit. I do not journal every day, but I journal regularly because of 750 words, and it makes me happy. 750 words is now the 3rd software subscription that I pay for (next to Spotify and the 1SE app).

1 cup

So when I sign into the site on my tablet to use my keyboard with it, I end up in some sort of “no distractions” view and it is SUPER hard to read because it is microscopically tiny. On my desktop, I can adjust the font size and background color to increase readability. I don’t necessarily want an app, I just want to be able to adjust the font size.

Thanks for reading. Less than ten days from 1000 consecutive entries.

What is this? Cup? I don’t know about this rule. I thought it was free for life.

That was a while ago, in 2012, when I first heard about this site. 750 Words was recommended as a helpful tool to students at the creative writing class. I started using 750 words, and I am still using it, when I need to focus on writing or just want to get in touch with my thoughts.
Thank you 750 Words for the creative flow!

I was recommended to 750 Words by Leesa Renee Hall. Her special Patreon community has motivated me to write more for myself and explore my curiosities, dreams, as well as my unconscious biases, and 750 Words has really helped me on this journey! I’m looking forward to seeing how I grow (and also to get those badges along the way)!

The Netherlands are currently struggling with a heat wave. Which makes it difficult (if not impossible) to sleep. But at least something good came out of this: tonight I got my Night Bat badge.

Oh glorious website. You are absolutely a gem in the rough wilderness of the Internet. Please don’t change. (I mean it, you’re great!) Thanks to you I have written nearly a quarter-million words, many that will eventually be crafted into a memoir. I’m super grateful.

I want to thank 750 Words on a festive occasion: I just finished my first 100-day streak! I joined in early May after a friend recommended the site and never stopped. I have written over 100,000 words on the site in these first 100 days. You developed the PERFECT tool for me to hold myself accountable and write every day! On many days, I continue to write off site—but 750 Words is my starting point for this every day. Although I cannot fully explain why, being able to see the statistics and the streak length really helps me keep going, as do the monthly challenges and the lovely, silly badges. I am typically a total tightwad, so the fact that I shell out $5/month and have made donating my “reward” after my July streak is a huge testimony to the service you provide. Thank you, 750 Words! – Antje

The categories are a bit lacking. For one, I think it would be a pretty useful and important category for text analysis to be on body/health.

If slang could be interpreted more accurately (f*ck is not always a sexual word, lol) that would help the accurate interpretation of text as well.

I thought, I could live without it.
And surly I can. I could. But why?
Having this page open next to my work saves my brain from overloading. This is the best way to dump whatever the monkey messed up and start my work or day in a clear and calm way. Knowing, that all this writing is perfect as it is. That fact it is uneditable calms my mind knowing, that there are still perfectly unperfect places in this world. Love this. Sendig all my love and a hug in the world!

Dear reader,

I wish you guts, guts, and yet more guts! Write whatever it is you really want to say. You can.

“Everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”
― Sylvia Plath
