The Friends & Members of 750 Words

750 Words exists because of mutual good will between the people that run this site (Buster & Kellianne) and the people who use it (you). The site wouldn't exist without the generosity, patience, and humor of everyone involved. For the first 3+ years that the site was running (Dec 2009 to May 2013), the site was free to use but with some encouragement to donate. That served us well (and most importantly, generated enough income to keep the site up), but as the site grew the need for support also grew.

On June 12th 2013, all existing users of the site were given lifetime free accounts (we hope you'll continue to donate when you can). New accounts created after June 12th, 2013 are now required to become members within 30 days after signing up in order to keep writing. Everyone will always have access to previous writings, stats, etc, even if they choose not to become members.

We're listening to your feedback and want to make sure that first and foremost, we offer a friendly and safe place for people to dump their private thoughts. I expect that we'll continue to adjust the way this all works for the near term. Thanks for being an awesome community!

Who runs this site?

Our names are Buster and Kellianne, we live in Berkeley, California with our two sons (Niko and Louie) and this is something we've built and run in our spare time.

Yep, forgot again on Sunday so I donated again. Good to know that Sunday is a danger zone for me when I go easily off-target. Happy to be writing in this space. All the best with your writing everyone.

I’m not a frequent writer anymore, but as I logged in for old time’s sake, I realized I’ve logged at least a few entries every year since November 2011. Happy 10th anniversary! What a long, strange trip it’s been!

While I’m grateful for what is, I can imagine and see the value of each suggestion. Given the value, I would suggest upgrading to appeal to a wider audience as a way to offer help people express themselves with words and co-create positive change in the world. .

750 is a consistent reminder of the blessed opportunity to express our greatest interests, our deepest needs, and our consistent appreciation for what this profound website offers to those who appreciate the power of writing. Thank you for this opportunity to share with others.

750 words… Some days it goes by fast, and I’m ready to keep writing more. Some other days, it feels like each sentence has to be dragged out of my brain, and my eyes are constantly checking the word count. Finally, some days, I am too tired and I go straight to the “Schedule time off” page to save my streak, even though it is not very long yet.
But because it is often so difficult, the sense of accomplishment when I do complete those words is that much more rewarding. Being able to overcome little mental barriers, bit by bit each day, has been so helpful to my well-being.

I heard that papa was a rolling stone,
So I wanted to sling rocks when I got grown!!!
I didn’t know that it was just a song,
The Temptations of success is pulling at me strong!!!
Don’t want to be wrong so I do the right thing,
There is no single definition so I just make it my thing!!!
I used to roll real deep and I was not in a gang,
I rolled with blue, red and black and my flag is my name!!!
I read all signs and recognize all symbols,
I’m running the red lights and keeping it all simple!!!
Protect your temple and control your temper,
Remember that a king is ruler of one kingdom!!!
I just left the cemetery and I counted all the tombstones,
It’s just like jail, every one that was there didn’t do anything wrong!!!
Now I realize that all the strong do not survive;
A lot of strong people died and a lot of innocent people are locked up inside!!!This Love Of Mine (Heart Cries)

Vs 1:
Does he really love me?
Does he like me, can you hold me?

Am I wrong for loving on my own?
My heart sheds tears from fears of being alone!!!
The pain of living in shame from not staking my claim!!!
When all my lonely days are for me to take the blame!!!
I’ve changed, and I have gotten rid of the things,
That were bounding my heart like chains and I’m ready to take another chance at loving you again!!!
(Whisper: "My love is alive,
Can you hear it when my heart cries?
)
Chorus/hook:
This Love Of Mine is alive,
It has survived through my heart cries!!!
This Love Of Mine is a prize;
It’s one of a kind, no more heart cries!!!
No tears in my eyes;
This Love Of Mine has arrived and my love has survived the pain from my heart cries!!!
This Love Of Mine…
This Love Of Mine…
(Whisper: "My love is alive,
Can you hear it when my heart cries???)
Chorus/hook:
This Love Of Mine is alive,
It has survived through my heart cries!!!
This Love Of Mine is a prize;
It’s one of a kind, no more heart cries!!!
No tears in my eyes;
This Love Of Mine has arrived and my love has survived the pain from my heart cries!!!
This Love Of Mine…
This Love Of Mine…

Vs 2:
This Love Of Mine;
Is stronger than the last time!!!
This Love Of Mine;
Will last for all lifetimes!!!
This Love Of Mine;
Is no longer living blind!!!
This Love Of Mine;
Has survived through my heart cries!!!

(Whisper: "My love is alive,
Can you hear it when my heart cries???)
Chorus/hook:
This Love Of Mine is alive,
It has survived through my heart cries!!!
This Love Of Mine is a prize;
It’s one of a kind, no more heart cries!!!
No tears in my eyes;
This Love Of Mine has arrived and my love has survived the pain from my heart cries!!!
This Love Of Mine…
This Love Of Mine…
Note title: Stainless

Note subtitle: The Gospel Of Rap

Note description: I say that the best defense is offense,
And the best teacher I’ll ever have is my-self!!!
I feel like it is harder to learn than it is to teach;
And it is easier to earn than it is to keep!!!
That’s why I’m not interested in “making money”,
I rather provide different ways of “creating money”!!!
If I was making money, I’ll put my face on the bills;
And I would only have, 3, 7, 9 and 11 dollar bills!!!
Matter of fact, I would do the same thing with coins,
That would make it easier to get your money growing!!!
I’m here to “brain wash” everybody,
Getting rid of the stains left by the “demons” that was controlling your bodies!!!
They want you to be concerned about cleaning your colon;
Once you cleanse your MIND And YOUR SPIRIT,
Then YOU become "The Controller!!!
My back is always hurting and I still remain painless,
Because I put it in my heart and my mind to be Stainless!!!
Neck Choke

I have a business and it’s called, My Own;
It’s all about spreading the news you can rely on!!!
I’m here to punish stages, while I’m garnishing wages!!!
Courageous and outrageous, cleaning up the- “[MESS]”-from the-“[AGES]”!!!
Contagious and persuasive with my mental eraser;
Gripping the mic tight like that hold on your life;
Doing what I feel is right as I follow the light!!!
I shine like halogen, follow me and follow HIM;
THE TRUE LEADER OF ALL MEN,
Catch you when you falling!!!
Be tuned in with THE CREATOR, and become something greater than the world has tried to make you!!!
You’re a customer to the system, they trained your way of living;
Remember that you were victorious before you became a victim!!

Hook:
Let’s go!!! Don’t let them make you think you’re broke!!!
They loosened up the noose and put their foot on your throat!!!
I’m here to let them know just like i tell my folks;
ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!
I’m bout that Neck Choke!!!
Eyes closed, seeing pictures in my mind. My imagination manifests events in my time. I refrain from opinions focusing on facts only. The SPIRIT of the LORD separates that for me. Glory, glory, glory hallelujah. I’m here to tell my story and bring the truth to you. We are children of the THRONE and must raise our expectations celebration dedications to the SPIRIT’S REVELATION. Do not let your occupation be the source of degradation. Use your SALVATION to defeat the acts of satan. THE CREATOR is waiting. HE has already spoken, there is no need for us to keep hoping; coping, with the results of modern technology. Do you know about THEOLOGY? BIBLE study, strengthening of the SPIRIT. Say yes to THE CREATOR so you can finally feel IT. We are Abraham’so children so adjust your vision. Do you see what I see, or are you tel-e-vision?

This is getting expensive now. Yep, I wrote my 750 words today, but I missed yesterday, so another $5 down. I’m so grateful to 750words website for setting up this challenge so I can develop the habit of writing everyday, because I’m going to need that habit to get my PhD done!! Happy writing everyone.

Okay, so I missed the daily target again, and I am trying to support myself to develop discipline through allowing myself to feel consequences… so another $5 in the pot. Grateful for the opportunity to develop this skill. I have signed up for the December challenge. Keep going everyone – we can change and grow from a place of self-acceptance! :)

Buster and Kellianne are a dream team! I’ve been using 750 Words for many years now, and I recently just passed 500 days in a row of continuous writing. Never thought I could do it, but I’m pretty sure I can do anything now! Infinite gratitude for helping me to make better art, organize my life, and reflect on a daily basis.

Today marks the completion of 1000 consecutive days of writing. I am grateful for the daily habit that 750words has given me to be able to BRAIN DUMP whatever is on my mind and get my thoughts and plans of action down for me to get organised. The daily habit has transformed my life in so many ways – work, home, exercise, eating – all of which benefit from this daily habit – Thank You So Much

Earn badges AGAIN.

With the ups and downs of life, it’s easy to fall off the horse. WAY off the horse. And for getting back to 10 days in a row perhaps a year after doing it the first time, it’d be nice to get to earn those badges again instead of them being a one-time-only deal. Or if you drop off after a 30 day streak, it should feel just as good to get back to that level again down the road.

Alternatively, if duplicates of the same badge is harder for some reason, perhaps just random new badges could help:
– Hot Start: hit the 1st ten days of the month
– Final Stretch: Finish the last (5/10/whatever) days of the month
– Doble Whopper: A week of 1,500 words/day

Clean Up Metadata Tags

When figuring out how to use the metadata tags I created a few I no longer use. I really only use one consistently (LOCATION) and would love to add one more as a topic tag and remove the ones I no longer use. Just to make it easier to go back to old notes.

I love 750 Words! The streak concept and badges keep me coming back and hitting my goals day after day. It’s helped me develop a more regular writing / journaling habit that I’ve wanted to develop for years, but failed to do until 750 words.

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.

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.

Improve the writing page

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

Entries Years Ago

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.
