- It's completely free and has no advertisements. Also, it doesn't require you to enter personal information about yourself or activate using email. Also, they have a motivational blog and point system. I love how it's game-ified and it motivates me to write. Plus, its graphics are not distracting. It's a pretty website. Guest • Oct 2016
