It would be cool to have words from a Great Griffin or someone who has had great success with their writing practice to have a platform to inspire and motivate more people as well as start a platform for their own writing. This feature could be collaboration with other writers out in the world, books, publishers or even software like Scrivener to help all writers in their writers journey.

In today’s world of having a mobile computer in your hand nearly every moment, just like having a camera always in hand, can change the world’s access to their better selves. The better the experience along with the lower the resistance, you could enlist more people to the cause.

I think it would be cool to be able to see the full unbroken chain of consecutive days. So a page view of boxes and how many of them have x’s in them. It would be a cool reinforcement to see 10, 30, 300 days in a row as a reminder of your progress/success

For years I wanted to get into a habit of writing. There are so many testimonials to the benefits. I’ve read books on books on forming good habits and could never quite get the writing one to stick. Scheduling, carving out time… you name it; I couldn’t get it to work for me. This site though might have finally tipped the scales for me. This is the ritual of Julia Cameron’s Morning Pages, added to Jerry Seinfeld’s mental stimulus (Don’t Break the Chain). But you don’t stop there. You add in a gamified reward system and top it off with an accountability mechanism and BOOM! Success. If that can’t help you then it’s time to step up to more draconian measures. Thank you 750 words, you’ve helped me establish a habit.

750 Words has become part of my morning writing ritual, and it’s difficult to imagine my creative process without it.

Would love having more text analysis, going deeper into the sentimental analysis and allowing to gain more insight about moods from the writing, etc.

Thanks :)

I have long-standing depression. Writing every day helped me to track the things that bother me. To my delight, it also kickstarted a creative writing habit, which has yielded a number of short stories, one of which has been published.

Is it possible for us to make connections with each other through this website?

:) I often finish writing past 750 words, but if I close the tab it says I have unsaved edits. I have to scroll up, click ‘Today’ so that it will save, then close the tab. Can you add a simple Save button to the bottom of the page so that I can just click that instead then exit? I lost some words and a streak once because I finished writing 750 words, but it didn’t save all of them, and the last save was below 750 words.

So I signed up for the April challenge, was home every single day and somehow spaced out one day. Can you believe it??? Anyway, May here I come. In the meantime, I made a donation to 750 words as my penance. You might get rich off of me.

This site is awesome. My writing is so much clearer and better since starting here

Thank you for giving me a safe place to unload my frustrations, fears, and dig into new ideas in my corona-era brain. Best to you and the entire community. Virtual hugs with the virtual cup. :-) (P.S. Emojis would be awesome.)

I’m currently on a 43 day streak, which is my longest since joining. I’ve found the habit of wring every day so therapeutic during these tough times and I don’t think I could stop now even if I wanted to.
Thanks to 750words for saving my sanity.

I have gotten into the habit of writing every day. There are days that it has been tough and there will continue to be days when it is tough, but I can do it. And it is good to know that you are here to help reinforce my habit. I just earned a new badge and I am so excited!

What about text analysis on languages other than english?

Tomorrow will be my 65th birthday. Thanks are to God for allowing me to see this day. All my life I have loved writing. I have always known that there are books hidden within me. In Highschool, I was part of a creative writing club, and I wrote every day. Poems letters short stories essays and I always said I would write a book or two or three. My teacher encouraged me to get some of my writings published and I planned to do just that when I graduated. Long story short, my collection of writings was stolen from my locker on the last day of school, and I became discouraged from writing. I still write a little. A poem for each of my children’s births, personal cards to special people, and journals I started keeping after I experienced Breast CA, but nothing significant. Until, 750 Words a day. I started writing on April 15, and I have consistently wrote every day since. then. It gives me such a sense of accomplishment. Thank You for this site.

I’m loving this practice so far! A well crafted app for phones and other digital screens would be perfect on the off chance I can’t sit down at my computer that day. Keep up the great work guys, you inspire me!

Today I reached a bit of a realisation. Writing has been part of my life since school when I realised that I was okay at it and decided to study Creative Writing at university. However, for someone whose trajectory has been so tied up with writing I didn’t actually write that much. For about 6 or 7 years I didn’t write for pleasure at all. Since Covid-19 lockdown I’ve tried lots of things to keep creative. I’ve been drawing and painting (with mixed success), cooking and making quizzes for friends to keep them occupied during the long, lonely evenings. I’ve had my doubts about all of these things and it’s triggered some pretty bad anxiety about where my life is going. I love my job and I would be a key worker but, having a long term health condition I am unable to help in the ways I wish I could. 750 words has been an absolute lifeline for me. Since lockdown began I’ve written about 5 or 6 short stories which I’ve submitted to various websites and received lots of glowing praise. I’m starting to get back that spark that I had at school for writing. Thank you everyone who makes this site possible, it is a work of wonder. Thanks again. Adam

I actually think that everything is great and I sincerely hope this service never goes down, but there exists some incredible services like Grammerly that show how a computer can really look at text and see areas of improvement. It could be fun to show off “ways to improve” or have the user input things like, “use the word ‘very’ less” and you guys can keep track of the usage. Hope this helps!

2000 days! They weren’t two-thousand perfect days and I copy/pasted my way out of too many (especially lately), but I’ve always come back with something that mattered to me. Short stories, poems, long email drafts to close friends, dreams, memories, and tons of “today I did this, tomorrow I hope to do that” entries. Thank you for creating and maintaining this site!!

This is so helpful to clear my troubled mind. Thank you!

I’ve been coming back to this site, off and on, for the past 6 years. When I’ve needed it most, it’s been here. I appreciate the site creators for their consistency with this product, and I hope my ‘on & off’ support will help maintain this site for others to enjoy it as much as I have.

Somewhere on the writing pad, I’m able to find the word of the day easily, so that I can try to expand my vocabulary while writing.

Dearest 750 team,

Today you answered one of my emails and I was brought to tears with your kindness. I didn’t know how much i needed the generosity and friendship that you showed to me, a total stranger, but I surely did. Thank you from the very bottom of my now full heart.

I know a lot of people have been using this site to vent their frustrations throughout this difficult time of global pandemic. Personally, I have found solace in doing the complete opposite. 750words has been invaluable because I can come here and write about something else. Every night before I go to bed, I sign in and write something unrelated to current events. Maybe it’s a portion of my most recent writing project; maybe it’s an e-mail to a friend; maybe it’s rambling about how much I love Star Trek…whatever it is doesn’t much matter. By the time I’ve thought of 750 words to write about some unrelated thing, I’ve managed to get my mind off all the horrible goings on long enough that I can go to sleep without tossing and turning all night. Definitely worth the monthly payment.

It has made it easier for me to put down my thoughts

I love the idea of 750 words. I’m building up my profession as a Copywriter and this site helps create an incentive for me. Eventually I would love to write a book and there are other things that I would love to write and this is a great platform to practice sharing my ideas.

After years of procrastination and making excuses, this site finally helped me build the habit of writing every day. I feel like a real writer now!
