750 Words

Writing in diaries seems to be an old-fashioned notion in our digitized way, but 750 Words finds a way to bring it all to our computers. Here's some personal testimony from my brother:

"If you have around 20-25 minutes to spare a day, I recommend 750words.com, it's a pretty nifty site. Basically, it's a private online journal that you write 750 words in daily, or whenever you want to work stuff out.  I used it today, and it's so freaking cool - you can customize everything about it, and when you're done writing the 750, you get an awesome page of statistics: words per minute, distractions, what you felt, what you were concerned about, what your mindset was, what the primary tense was (past, present, future), what the primary sense was, a rating, frequently used words, etc. It's kinda awesome, and you can have a safeword so only you see it.  Just passing along the coolness :)"
