I have been writing for 2007 days as of 12/29/2020. It’s been a great ride but now is time to move on. December 31, 2020 will close my writing here, but I will carry on on my own. Thank you Kelly and Buster for having this wonderful platform. Lots of Love Pam

I’ve become lazy and defeated about my writing, so 750 Words gives me a daily opportunity to build a disciplined practice.

A public API so I can build a iOS and Apple Watch app to show the streaks and send reminders.

very interesteed in the page that analyse your daily writing feelings. would be great if there was a way to view progress. to see how much your mood has improved overall from writing and how positive you have become from daily journalling.

I signed up years ago, have had all kinds of streaks and starts and stops and what not over the years, but I keep coming back here.

I think writing is a lot like, if not more like so many other things that require repetition, ongoing showing up, and that none of that is wasted in the long run. It keeps you loose and going on, and even helps to unstuck you even if you come here and blah blah blah your words for a few days…the main thing is to keep going.

So…

If you are reading this….good.

Here’s my point.

Keep going. See how long you can keep that streak going for yourself. You won’t regret it.

Happy New Year to all!

Yesterday I broke my streak. For the second time since I started.. I wrote from 29.08.2017 – 27.12.2020 which are 1218 days. Over three years. I can’t even imagine things three years from now, should I reach that point again.
The first time I broke my streak after 435 days, because I was too stressed. This time I broke it because I was too relaxed. I started and simply forgot to continue.
It’s not as bad as last time. I wrote a lot of things I’m proud of in these 1218 days. It’s 2020, there could have been worse things this year happening to me than this. This just wounds my personal pride.
For a moment today I thought I could take a break. Start writing again on the 1st January instead of today, but I can’t. It’s such a integral part of my life by now, I don’t want to take a break. I’m not always motivated. Sometimes I write some stupid things ten minutes before midnight. But I write and I’m really glad I do. So hopefully here’s to another 1218 days or even more!

I would love to be able to write on my iPad instead of my laptop.

Although I have been with 750 Words since May 2011, and have over 2 million words here, I have never managed a huge streak . . . until now. On Christmas Eve I hit day 1000 in my current streak. I was so happy that I finally did it!

I have used this space to work through emotions, to complain about life, and very often to brainstorm for short stories, novels, and poetry. Today I worked through the death of a friend on December 23rd. So sudden, such a huge shock? Why was I angry about this? I mean I was sad, of course. But I wrote until I figured out why anger was part of my feelings. And writing about it really helped me to get a lot of what has been bottled up in me for three days out. Thank you for giving me the space, the opportunity, and the reason for doing the writing that helped me start to wrap my head around this tragic event.

Thank you for creating this house of quiet rebellion. Your daily encouragement has reminded me to call myself a writer; so much so that it has become my new profession, during a year when doors were closing everywhere. Without this simple, compelling discipline, I might never have gained the confidence to put one word in front of another and line them up for scrutiny. Now I have my first ghost writing client – and you to thank.

I’m so sad. After getting to 2,181 days in a row, I accidentally missed yesterday. I’m just so sad and needed somewhere to write this where I knew people would understand.

So, it appears that actually typing is correct on Total Time but not Time to 750. So, for example, in today’s write, I got:

Time to 750:
00:38
00:50 actually typing

Total time:
00:59
00:50 actually typing

It appears actually typing for Time to 750 is just taking the value for total time. For total, I have no doubt I typed a total of 50 minutes but since I typed 1500 words, roughly, this morning, this should probably show something like:

Time to 750:
00:38
00:34 actually typing (to 750 words)

That would be more interesting, and more correct. Cheers and have a great Monday!

Hello, I appreciated this site when I used it on and off for about three years, but then I switched to hand journaling and haven’t really used this site at all in the past year. I just had to export each month individually from all that time. Please make a bulk export for people like me who are choosing to stop subscribing. Even better, an integrated cloud connection with Google Drive would’ve saved me the hassle of having to export at all. Thank you for everything, and so long. – Rebecca

I’m thankful for this website. I’m glad that even though my writing isn’t that great, I still can record some information in this website, consistently, and over time it seems like it’s adding up. I’m looking forward to reading these pages later and cringing, hopefully because my writing would have improved a bit by then.

I have been a 750words.com member since before 2013, and I find it to be one of the most helpful ways to organize my thoughts, keep on keeping on, and to have a place to experiment with writing haiku.

I am thrilled to see a streak building, to collect all sorts of animal badges, and I appreciate the ability to use and track metadata. I love the nonjudgmental approach, and the knowledge that there are so many writers, worldwide, who are also logging in and working out their thoughts by word and sentence.

Thank you, Kellianne and Buster, for making this safe space, and for all your work in maintaining it.

Anyone who cares enough to create a space for people to write and write often is doing good work in the world. Thank you.

In this crazy 2020, 750 words is the ultimate socially distanced community. We wouldn’t recognize each other in person, but there is this “knowing” when I open today’s blank page to write that others are doing the same on computers all around the world. For all of you, I hope its working…the clearing out, healing, creativity bursts, discoveries, production of words – whatever that might be. I don’t know you but I know you. Thanks to our fearless leaders for this private but positive community. Amy

I love this idea for the times I’m not at my computer.

Can we make this one very visually appealing as well/simple to use?

We need an Android app! 750 Words is AWESOME and an app would greatly increase the visibility and usefulness.

Love the simplicity of 750 words! It’s definitely like a distraction-less journal. I theoretically liked journaling but find it so much easier to type than handwrite. 750 words totally solves this for me without the distraction of having to log in to something like gmail or word. love it!

I love the badges. It would be nice if we could see how many times we have earned the same badge. Maybe there could be secret badges that don’t tell you how to unlock them. For example, using the word “fantastic” could unlock one. Or using 5 seasonal words could unlock a festive badge.

I started using 750 Words a few months ago and I wish I had known about it sooner. I haven’t missed a day since I started (though one day I wrote less than 750 words and my streak reset… tragedy). Some days I write in Portuguese to practice it. Most days I just write about my day or my silly hobbies. It doesn’t matter that I write drivel, and that’s what I love about it. Though I have always been an off-and-on paper journaler and I love the romantic notion of it, I have ugly handwriting, it’s hard to search for specific past entries, and it takes me so long to write basic stuff by hand. Plus I’m left handed so the ink always smudges. 750 words eliminates all those problems and I never feel like it’s a chore. Thank you so much for letting me vent and carry on about my boring life.

Besides offering one-time and monthly payments, could there be an annual payment/membership option?

I’ve gone from using this site as a scratch pad, to freewriting, to composing my papers, to a diary, and all four of those things at the same time. I love trying to break my own streaks!
