i find it easier and easier to see my moods, what makes me have a good day, and how writing every day gets all the gunk out of my head. Thank you so much 750Words!

Happy New Year!
I paid my two missed challenges to 750 words – two because I was remiss paying the last time I fell out of the challenge. Not sure where I would be without this site I realised how much it’s helped me practice writing. There was a time when I didn’t write for months and months ad infiinitum. Yet this last year, I’ve been inspired to get my words down not only hitting 500K words but completing NaNoWriMo. Showing up to 750 words.com, I learned my best writing times, it’s at the dining table, focused on what I want to say, sitting upright. Never would I’ve believed that for the paltry price of two coffees a month, I’d accomplish so much. Thank you, Buster and Kellianne!

Who has two thumbs and missed her words for the December challenge on December 30th??

This gal!

Seriously grateful to this site and those who produce/maintain it, seriously grateful for the accountability, motivation, and freedom it provides as well. On this first day of 2022 let’s ALL raise a cuppa to this crew!

wondering could there be an offer of Patronage/Membership for long serving members (after serving a period of time decided by the owners of 750words.com).

750words has been a background score to my life for over 10 years now. It helped me cope with bad days in college and through my 20’s. During the pandemic, I finally started to actually get more consistent about writing here and it helped me cope. This was my solace in this uncertain time. Thank you Buster and Kelliane – you gave me a space to record my triumphs and disasters and find the strength to treat those two imposters just the same. To everyone else using this site, thank you for your notes of inspiration – it helped me see that there are kindred spirits out there.

This site allows me to settle my mind before the serious working of writing begins. I am back after almost a year away. I know that my return will bring more focus and productivity.

I have used 750words through the most exciting and difficult times in my life (marriage, babies, deaths, moves, pandemics…), and whether I logged in and wrote daily, or once a month, or only a couple of times a year, it has been such a wonderful landing pad for me to process and record my life. Thank you!

Hi Buster!

When I use the search function, it currently shows the days when I wrote the search term, plus the first 250 characters of those days’ writing. But as I start each day with some metadata, this picture is about the same for every search hit.

It would be much more helpful if the list of the search hits could contain the 250 characters around the search term (or it first occurence in a day’s writing), say the 120 before and the 120 after.

Would be great if you might include that in one of the next rounds of improvements!

Thanks and all my best wishes to you and the family

While the little boxes up top on the site are great when reading on a laptop, they are not so great when trying to read on mobile, especially since the hovering date sometimes doesn’t come up. It would be nice to have prev entry – next entry buttons somewhere on the page – maybe at the bottom? – to make navigating through close entries just that much easier. Thank you for your awesome work on the site!

10 cups for 10 years :)
I’ve been using it for 10 years since December 31st 2011. I find this website to be very inspirational, intellectually engaging and life enriching. The first year I lived on my own I journaled for the first 375 days straight without missing one day and did my 750 words each of those days. It really helped me refine my thought process and improve my overall quality of life I’ve fallen off the write everyday bandwagon but I do plan to do write everyday in 2022. Thank you Buster for creating this fabulous website. I hope that I’ll be using this website well into the 2030s and beyond.

I have always been an avid writer of thoughts and things. My tools have always been pen and paper. In the last year or so it has been difficult to keep up that practice. Lucky for me (and the rest of my fellow writers) Buster and Kellianne have provided this wonderful site for us to store our words and motivate us to keep on writing. I am proud to say that I earned my Phoenix (100 day) and my first flock (100,000 words) badges. But I am also grateful to have this place to sort through my thoughts and dreams and emotions. Thank you Buster and Kellianne!

Who knew I would be able to write 750 words everyday for more than a year and not know what to say here? Other than thank you for contributing towards making that happen, and helping me look after my mental health everyday! Thank you!

Mainly I want to say that I hope everyone connected with this site, from Buster and Kellianne, to all my fellow writers, are having a meaningful holiday season in spite of all the craziness that is going on in the world. I also want to say Thank You—not just to Buster and Kellianne, who are awesome in maintaining this site, but to all who partake of it. A wise man once said that company is stronger than will power, and to me 750 Words is an example of that. As tricky as it seems at times to get my Words in, it helps that you are all writing as well. And I’m grateful for the centeredness and clarity of undersatnding that the site has given me over the many years that I’ve been present here every day. Peace and blessings to all in the New Year!

I would love to suggest getting an SSL certificate set up so that the connection between browser and server gets encrypted.

Could just be a Let’s Encrypt one, doesn’t have to infer any costs or a lot of work.

Good morning my fellow wordsmiths and scribblers,
I just wanted to pop in here and say this 750 words site has helped keep me going strong on my daily writing habit. I have been doing my morning pages since 1997 when I came across The Artist’s way by Julia Cameron. that book helped change the whole course of my life. I have many many notebooks of morning pages, and that being said, I love the 750 word program! The badges are a simple concept but they help keep me on track becasue I want to get all the badges abd double stars every morning. so simple a thing but it works for me! and it’s encouraging to see so many others doing their writing as well. Community is a lovely thing. so i will continue on and if a miss a day and have to start over , i will laugh at myself and continue on! MY next target is a Pheonix and i have 20 more days to go to get there!
Happy writing!
Lauren

allow for different font styles such as italic, bold and sizing to be edited/seen in real-time of composition. Also, allow for different coloured font throughout. (also, just ideas of course and love the website!!! xo) maybe analysis that relates to how it might sound like you are feeling would be cool or synonyms/dictionary definitions of words you are using overlay to ensure you are accurate/precise/best with your verbiage (like what exactly does verbiage mean?) xxoxoxo

Very grateful for you, Buster and Kellianne, for creating this site and maintaining it. It’s been so helpful for me to use it daily, to check in with myself and discover what’s really going on with me. Since I can be highly reactive when situations upset me, this site gives me a ‘pause’ space to really think about things before reacting. My life is much more peaceful and present as a result. It’s an important service you provide. Thank you!

it helps me to think more clearly, and clear my head of unconscious negativity, to see things more clearly.

For anyone who has written for a long time, the badges are too few and far in between. More badges will help to keep motivating people.

Thanks so much for all you do with this site. An example of your hard word and graciousness: the recent outage and how you got the site back up and fixed all broken streaks.
