I forget how long I’ve been using this site, but it’s been a constant companion to me and writing since I found it. I don’t write everyday all the time, but when I do I find this site to be the most helpful tool.

I’m a web dev and would be happy to help, because this would be so clutch.

I kept trying to make this daily writing, artists journal thing work. And I came back to this site a couple times, and then it happened. I hit my 750 words today, and holy cow is that the right number of words. I love it.

More specifically, I would appreciate better navigation tools. It always takes me a few clicks to really get to the page I want, so making the menus more user friendly is really my request. Otherwise, my request is to leave the writing page as configurable and customizable as it already is, and NOT to add a bunch of features, bells, and whistles (like setting a lower bar for the number of words to be written in a day) — this is 750words.com — it’s based on Morning Pages, and that crisp, clean mission is all it needs. People can use it any way they want, but that doesn’t mean that the essence of its simplicity must be sacrificed in order to be all things to all people. Thank you for considering!

Headspace app is top in creating habits. Study the app and see how it makes it. Maybe instead of full 750 words, you could somedays choose 350. Maybe there could be more flexibility on the deadlines. Maybe you could offline text which will allow you not to break the streak while you’re offline.

September 16, 2017 was my first entry here on 750Words. How could a year have gone by already? Thank you for this space. This space where I find myself every day and know I am moving forward.

A more updated, cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing website design and an app for mobile would make our writing experience even more enjoyable :)

The website has helped my essay writing skills and narrative writing skills since it helped me generate random ideas as well as structuring logically. It is useful for a student.

Broke my streak.
Was sad and upset at myself.
Sat down to write the next day.
Was happy again.
Lesson learned: writing = happiness.

I love to write, but I stopped for quite some time, and then I joined 750 Words. It seemed like an interesting concept, and then one night about 14 days back, I had an idea for a story. I’ve written every day since and am over 20,000 words into what feels like an interesting novel on murder and art history. 750 words gave me an excuse to start writing again. I’m enjoying myself and I life the fact that my writing page is just that – no formatting, no distractions and I can just write. Thank you!

I’ve dreamed of becoming an author for many years on and off (mostly off). My obstacle has always been consistency. I came across 750Words a little over two weeks ago. I entered the September Challenge hoping that it would provide enough accountability to get me into the habit of writing every day. I just completed my 17th day in a row. I have never worked on my novel for 17 days in a row before, ever. As a result, I have started my patronage today with a heart full of gratitude for helping me overcome my obstacle. Thank you!

At this age, it is a normal thing to be worried about the security of your data. Since we write without censorship, it is very important that our data is kept safe. Thanks.

I love the metadata function and use it for todo lists and such. It would be awesome, if it was possible to edit the metadata, to cross of done items off lists.

Well, you expected the Contrarian to appear! Voila!

Yes, the beauty of 750words is its sheer, unadulterated simplicity. So as much as I like upgrades,enhancements, extensions myself in apps, for this app I humbly request that the “design attitude”, if you will, remain fairly spartan of features. Gyad forbid this should become like the multi-headed feature-Hydra known as Microsoft Word – a grotesque example of exploding your own market share with excessive feature-ism. Enough said. Though I might be a minority, 750words in its current incarnation is near perfect for its intended purpose.

Both my parents died in 2015. I found that writing here about my feelings and responsibilities and memories has helped me so much. 750words is my private writing site: I write things here I never intend to share with anyone. This is inspiration: head-clearing: consolation.

Seven years ago I wrote the first draft of a novel on 750 Words. It was the first, and so far only, time I’ve ever been able to push myself over the finish line. Lately I’ve been feeling that itch, knowing I needed to get back to writing every day. I procrastinated – because that’s what I do. But a week ago I logged back in and opened up a page. Seven-day streak so far. I’m grateful for this site and constantly surprised by how much it helps me.

I hit a million words a couple days ago. The idea has been following me around. A million words. Poured onto the page. day after day. year after year.

I try with earnest to write every day when I wake up. Even waking up earlier. The affect is undeniable. Writing in this way every day unlocks something in me that I don’t have access to otherwise. It’s beyond my life stressors, it’s beyond my neuroticism. It’s my inner voice. The real me. Thank you 750Words.

I would like to have updated dates listed for the badges on my statistics page, if/when I re-earn them after breaking a streak. It would be interesting to track how many times I started over and how far I got each time – if for example I can make it to 30 days pretty easily but need to focus on maintenance between 30 and 100 so I don’t lose track, that would be useful information.

I was looking for a tool to help me keep my writing on track. After a quick google search led me to this site, I signed up, and I’ve been more productive in my writing than ever. I’m in my second month and I’ve written over 33,000 words so far. I’m soooo happy with this site and I’ve been recommending it to everyone I can.

I’m not sure what kind of a release schedule you have, but there is no point asking for new feature requests if there is no consistent improvement mechanism for the site. I’ve been on the site for over 6 months and I haven’t heard of a single new feature or improvement yet. Even the frequency doesn’t matter. It could be 2x, 3x or 4x per year. Just commit to a few improvements on a regular schedule. You can share the info on a page in the help section called “New Releases” and treat it as a running log recording past releases and what’s planned for the upcoming version, along with a target release date. If I have missed some improvements, the page would be a good way for both myself and other members to see what improvements have been made.

I feel like a lot of the badges are quite achievable and I like to have goals to work towards. The badges are a great feature but I’d love some more things to head for!

1 cup

It would be nice to have some kind of homepage or dashboard where we could see our badges, progress, info on other writers, and basically everything of interest on one page. I know it’s all available on various pages but it would be great to collate everything in a single location.

Love the site! Thank you!

Now that I successfully completed the August challenge, I decided to step it up. I signed up for the September challenge with and extra challenge for myself: Write a book in 30 days!

Thanks, 750 Words for helping my daily writing habits and moving me in a new direction to finish my book.
