My name is Hudson Lines and I'm on the internet:
1st place!
So I guess I like the site 750words.com, where over the last 28 days I wrote a total of 22,161 words. I didnt expect to write so frequently, but I got hooked on the benefits and currently I hold first place (a shared first place, really).
The site’s idea is a spin on something called morning pages in The Artist’s Way. That exercise is supposed to get thoughts out of your head, uncensored and unedited and everyday, to focus on whatever’s important to you. A guy named Buster created 750words.com as a way to iterate on this idea through tech application and game dynamics.
What I use the site for mostly is to write a daily To Do brainstorm. It may seem weird taking 20 minutes to write 750 words when a to do list would take 2 minutes. But there are some useful benefits of “To Do prose,” written with whatever else comes to mind along the way. Rather than just listing actions quickly and somewhat mindlessly, To Do prose gets you to think though the gaps, the questions and issues surrounding what you’re thinking you want and need to do. On several occasions I discovered a solution to problem, a better use of my time, or I re-examined a goal. To Do lists, and list-making applications, are all the rage, but writing it out “long hand” like this for me was a very useful experiment.
Ok, I’m really just bragging here about my first place but you might like the site too…
