The Friends & Members of 750 Words

1 cup

I just bought a cup of patronage so I could make this note: I am feeling very sad and quite foolish because I thought I had got my 750 words in before midnight, and I had not, it was evidently after midnight, and I am hoping very much that my currently-unbroken streak of over 500 days can be rescued.

Patrons could select the day they want their subscription to be drawn or pay for an entire year at once!
Just loving you all for all these years!

Thank you so much Kellianne and Buster!! I hit 365 days today and I love this site so much. It’s kind of funny, but it boosts my self esteem to know that there is ONE THING that I do EVERY SINGLE DAY. My head is more clear, my professional writing is more on point, and overall I’m just super grateful for this site.

Please add data labels to the pie charts to show exact percentages. I am experimenting with tracking anxiety levels in my writing and would prefer not to have to print out the stats and use a protractor to reconstitute numbers.

I would like to specifically request that the files you download are able to be downloaded as separate entries for each day, instead of the whole month. I like that I can see the whole month, but having the option to make them day by day can be beneficial

I’d love it if we could see what we wrote a year ago. Like there’s a tab that will let us see what we wrote year(s) ago. It’s a great way to see where we’ve come from and how much we’ve changed, the lessons we learned, the things we said, etc.

I wanted to write and say THANK YOU for encouraging me to write EVERY DAY for 9+ years! I have decided that I will donate $5 every year for each year that I have been writing, and this is the first. I was grandfathered in and have donated before, but wanted to make this commitment.

There is nothing else in my life that I do faithfully every single day! And it is my way of connecting with Jesus and reflecting on my day. It has also helped me to work through some traumas and celebrate some joys.

I am also grateful for all the times you have rescued my streak!! I had a 445 streak that got broken when I first started because of some computer problems and it took me a year to back on track again! Since Aug 23, 2012 I have written every day. So I really freak if something happens to mess up this streak LOL! and therefore I am VERY GRATEFUL for your willingness to correct the things that happen.

I discovered 750words on May 29, 2010 and I have published 5 children’s books since then, and written more, and it would not have happened without 750words.com.

So THANK YOU Buster and Kellianne! You are a valued part of my life :)

Peace & Love,
Holly M. <><

I am incredibly thankful for this site. The stream of conscious style of writing I have developed here has been a type of therapy for me, allowing me to examine my thoughts and interactions, process emotions, and gain a richer perspective and appreciation for life. I am often using the site on my phone as I write a lot on the move when I don’t have access to a laptop or desktop. The mobile version of the site can be challenging to navigate. I get the “something has gone wrong, please copy your entry before exiting to ensure your work is not lost” error message frequently and end up transferring writing back and forth between the site and my notes app. An app, especially one with the ability to save writing in it’s internal memory without internet connection to be uploaded to the site later when connection is detected, would be so cool!!

Is it possible to have all those beautiful graphs with emotions, focus on the person, etc. in other languages? I don’t write in english so I get the word cloud but none of the analysis.

Thank you so much to 750 words. I tried journalling using a note pad all of October and I really struggled. I love the badges! I am quite competitive so in the 11 days that I have doing this, I have tried to get the hamster one, the rooster one and the jaguar one. I am going for the bat one next. I took 20 mins on day 2 so I’ve not got the jaguar one yet but I will get it tomorrow. It is so easy for me to jump on every day and empty my brain out into a safe enviroment. Thank you!

It does clear my mind! Sometimes I feel 750 is too much, but it digs ing my brain and everything out of it

t has finally arrived, my 500th day of writing and my Space Bird. I cannot describe how I feel. Pleased, proud, excited. When I found this site at the end of May 2020 we were in lockdown and I had all the time in the world to write. I thought that this might be something I would do just until life returned to ‘normal’. How wrong I was. My words have taken me through fear, anger, frustration and I’ve finally come out on the other side; I am much happier and more content than I was before I began. I shall continue writing, perhaps in a more structured form. A book? I simply wanted to save most of my cups of coffee to say thank you Buster, Kellianne and 750 Words.

Especially if I can use my Apple Pencil to handwrite — this would allow me to get my words in even on the two days a week I’m traveling/on my feet all day and not near a computer (as it is, I just accept the fact that I’ll never truly be a daily user).

I want to be as sure as possible that my writing will stay private. I am new to the in’s and out’s of technology so I will be learning to assimilate in a corner of the internet that I find strangely comfortable.

Hi everyone, a question for you. What are the green and blue stars for on the Today’s Writers page? I’ve never noticed them before.

I recognize that everyone uses 750Words differently. As both a creative writer and academic, I tend to feel guilty if I use up my words on random lists or journaling. Also, somedays I’ll be working on editing, grading, or sending my writing to publishers—it should be less about quantity than quality. At the same time, I want to maintain a daily practice, and 750Words is a great platform and concept. My idea is a version for fewer words, maybe a minimum of 300 for slower writers who may otherwise become overwhelmed and drop the habit entirely.

Pretty incredible that this site has helped keep me accountable in writing everyday! It’s helped me get into a groove and start to understand my writing tone & voice. And sharpen my craft altogether. The best part is the mental clarity & space from having somewhere to just capture and process the craziness going on in my head sometimes! Thanks so much to the creators of this wonderful tool. xoxo

I am not a consistent or regular writer. Sometimes I think I’d like to be. But I usually find 750 words takes more time than I’ve allowed and I often go days without writing at all. Nevertheless, I keep coming back here and treasure the gift it is.

It has been so good to see how the word count rises, and realize that I can be a real writer, and write as many books as I want (I have already written 3 nonfiction but I am struggling to write a romance novel). Getting to the million word count was a big moment for me, but now that I’m well on the way to almost two million… it’s starting to seem inevitable that my dreams of finishing a 3 romance novel series will come true! Thank you Buster Benson and Kelliann!

I am grateful to this site for getting me back on the proverbial writing bicycle. This month’s challenge – and my two missed days of it, Gaah! – has shown me how easy it is to forget to write, AND how great it is to have a daily writing practice. October will be my second monthly challenge – looking forward to writing each day and strengthening those muscles! To those of you who wrote every day for a month, year, decade – holy cats but y’all are such inspirations! And to those of us who miss a day and come right back – y’all are HUGE inspirations! Thank you!

¡Cinco estrellas! Este sitio me gusta mucho, desde que lo conocí me atrapó el concepto, siento que escribir en esta página me ayuda a descargar mi mente y aclarar ideas… a veces siento que me ayuda también a procesar algunas emociones.

Hello, I’ve been struggling to log in on Firefox for a while now. Just me or is this a known issue?

So it’s hard for me to believe, but I have written three million words. Wow. Is it possible to get a three million word badge on board?
