writing 750 words a day is harder than it sounds!

Some fellow early adopters I follow have been mentioning this new site
called http://750words.com The premise is simple. The site reminds
you daily to dump your thoughts free-form. The writing is meant to be
private and the goal is simply to write without fear. It sounded
interesting and the site is now open to the public.

To create an account, you simply login with your google, facebook or
yahoo credentials and off you go.

As someone who kept journals for many years, before this thing called
blogging, I found the idea very appealing. To keep it interesting,
the site will generate reports giving you some sense of trends in your
writing over time. Here's a sample report just from the first day of
writing.

Another twist is the monthly challenge. Basically, you create a
contract with yourself to write the 750 words daily without missing a
day. You set the reward you'll give yourself if you meet the
challenge. Conversely, you set the penalty if you don't meet the
challenge.

Does this sound interesting to you? Do you think it will catch on?

Obviously, I do. I signed up for April's challenge so wish me luck!
