title: 750words! I'm not exactly sure what to write. I haven't blogged in so long... Well maybe I should introduce you guys to 750words.
750words is a website where they challenge you to write 750 words a day. Most people probably use it as a private blog/journal/diary, others use it as a place for creative writing, and others just use it as a place for their stream of consciousness to roam. I use it for a mix of all three. Most of the time I discuss controversial topics, usually revolving around the different interpretations of a word's meaning. For instance, "Does everyone experience freedom?" or "What is an illusion?" Other times, I vent about things that have happened and use it as a self-healing process. And occasionally, I also use it for creative writing purposes. What's great about this site is, it sends all of your writing to a text assessment engine, and shows you an analysis on your writing visually. For instance, how fast you were typing at what point (showing you when your writing was at its peak). Or, what I find the most fascinating, determining your mood and what you are mostly concerned about (this can be incorrect sometimes, but it's still interesting). It shows you your mindset, your primary sense, your time orientation (focused on past, present, or future), your perspective (if you use I, us, you, or them the most), and so much more. There is a point system that's fairly complicated, so I won't explain it. I don't really use it, but if you're someone that likes getting the points and the little badges, go for it. If you've been looking for a private place to just write about whatever, a place no one can see, I suggest you try it out. It's a ton of fun. =) |
