Sign up, and commit to doing 750 words per day (hence the site name). I think the site is best suited for brainstorming, freewriting, and similar writing exercises. Here are a few neat features that make it a useful creative writing tool.

  1. It automatically saves your work and tracks your word count.
  2. It keeps metadata on your writing, which can give you a little feedback on the tone and word usage. For example, my descriptions so far tend to be centered around touch and sight, but not much on hearing.
  3. It tracks your score and your “streak,” how many days you’ve made your 750 word goal.
  4. It tracks metadata. I use this to track entries my my characters. I find writing in their voice useful in finding out who they are and what they want. To do that, enter the label (in my case the character name) in all caps followed by a colon.

The site is really easy to use, and it’s pretty useful as writing tools go. It also has the benefit of being pretty fun, so you’ll enjoy going back every day to get those 750 words!

  1. A good tool to monitor your productivity status. I actually tried it once and already got some blank pages coming. This is ideal for committed writer, for those who are not, then goodluck for some disappointments.
