Your New Writing Goal- 750 words

It's been a long time since I've found time (and energy!) to blog.  But I had to share this link!!

This website, 750 words, is a place where you can log personal writing and you are rewarded with a point system.  Now, the creator uses it more like journaling to clear his mind, but I am finding it to be a useful tool for word count.
I recently read a post about tips for writers who complain of not having time to write (ie: me when I work 50 hours at a draining job, have a 5 year old child, and other miscellaneous crap to do).  One tip was setting a very small, achievable goal for every day. For example, writing for 10 min. a day.  Or writing 750 words.  It's totally do-able, and 750 words every day would mean you could finish 3 NOVELS in a year's time!

So think about trying this website and let me know what you think.

  1. Thanks Dave. Been one heck of a rough 10 months ( already!) but I'm slowly crawling back into writing. WIP is nearing word count goal. Finding enough energy to write is tough. I've been pulling 50 hour work weeks lately.
