750 Words a Day

[Jewel Leigh]

Has anyone heard of the site called called www.750words.com?

The idea is to write 750 words a day. No matter what. No one has to even see it

I took a class a couple years back where I had to do something like this. We read "The Artist's Way," which required 3 handwritten pages every morning. After that class, I stopped, until I found this site. Now I write 750 words every day (or have been for the past couple weeks).

I find it really helps, and I feel accomplished that at least I'm writing SOMETHING.

The site is really cool too. It gives you feedback on what you wrote, whether you are upset or happy. It also tells you want your thoughts are most focused on. Apparently I mostly think about family and home.

And I'm an introvert.

Here's an example of the data it gave me on one of my days: 750words.com/entries/share/1846233

Anyway, what is your thoughts of the site? Or about the idea of writing 750 words a day?

Do you think that would keep you focused on writing everyday? Or not be worth it?

I think I'm going to try this site out! It sounds really interesting and I try to write everyday anyways.

I joined it way back in September after you posted about it a couple of times, Jewel, though I only started citing around the end of September. I got to a 100 day streak! And I did a couple of monthly challenges too. Then one night, I think the net wasn't working and I didn't realize, so what I wrote didn't get saved, and my streak broke. I think it was the first of this month. I was really bugged for a while. But I started again the next day. So now I'm past 25 days again...

I'm really glad I found it, and i have you to thank for that.
It's become a part of my daily routine. Do you still write on it?

OMG. That's awesome, Arctic. XD

I actually got more than 60 days but not yet to 100... I remember I was going to a 100 day streak, and one day it cut me off at 650 words. I know I wrote 750 words, but it must not have saved. I didn't noticed until the next day. I got so angry, I haven't been back on. Felt too much pressure for a stupid little pin. lol.

I would love to go back to that, though, and I really should. Think you may just inspire me, Arctic.
