This post was written by one of the candidates for authorship Layfhakere Dmytro Sinko. Just how much you enjoy the material, it depends on whether he would write in our blog. Express your gratitude by pressing one or more buttons social card sharing or writing your thoughts in the comments.
Everyone at least once a thought arose in my head, "And if I could write a book?". If you love to read, for example, layfhaker :), you probably do not just think to start to write or even started. I, like all novice writers, faced with a whole bunch of problems. One of them - fear of the reader, in the spirit of "I is ponapisyval here, what think of me?". To some exercise yourself and relax facilities given to me by nature, I am, as always, decided to google the special magic tricks that solve all the problems. Soon I came across an interesting and at the same time, the elementary technique he called "750 words a day."
This is a very simple technique that like to use the budding bloggers and journalists. The roots of this method rest on the simple, like a cork, the truth: "What would you do something good - to do it all the time."
Thus, 750 words a day. No matter what it is. Story, personal problems, another letter, article or just a description of the event. The main thing that you write at least 750 words every day. Regardless of the topic that you choose. Over time, the number of turns to be quality.
Everything seems to be easy, but there is a catch - laziness (as without it?). If we can do something is not done, we will not :). So, to start and, more importantly, do not stop writing every day, created a service 750words.com. All entries closed, no one except you will not be able to read them. Apparently, we offer a complete analog of a personal diary. So why does he at all?
The main "chipĀ» 750words.com:
1. Simple and intuitive interface. Registration is not needed, enter through facebook / google / yahoo / openid. The editor is very simple, not to say poor. Text on a white background. And what do we want?
2. Motivation. Every day you will come to notice annoying: "We know that you have not written anything." You can disable it, but then a good half of all the goodies go to pieces.
In addition, the service maintains a history of notes and strikes the days when we wrote. For each written text we are given the points and rewards. Table user ratings daily builds, where we see immediately who bungles. Periodically arranged marathon: who will last longer and will not miss a single day. Usually survive less than half :), then he and the marathon. The results are sent to the post office every day and are available online.
It looks like a user profile:
3. Statistics. Service counts how many days you have written, how many days did they spit at the ceiling, the number of written words and other vital things.
For English-speaking users of the service indexes the text and making conclusions about a person's mood, highlights concerns of his subjects. There is still a killer function - use of metadata. Can be directly in the text to indicate:
Stress: 9
Sleep: 5
Work: 10
750words automatically process the data and plot (number of points that you specified). Thus it is possible to conduct "log" of any parameter of your life and watch your personal development (or degradation :).
Unfortunately I could not see how this system works with the Russian language, as for the compilation of statistics they need time. If you are interested and decided to try it - share his observations. I think it will be interesting.
Here is the statistics on user accounts.
If you're just being paranoid, as I do, and do not trust anyone but yourself and a pet, you can use any other tool: evernote (use built-in encryption), gmail, notebook, notebook, even ordinary napkins. The main thing to write.
Do you know of other ways to "literary talent"?
