As an AuDHD writer with a very hectic life, I agree on the accessibility thing wholeheartedly. I used to write when I was a teen and it brought me so much joy, but real life hit me like a truck and I found I had absolutely no energy for it for years. I started dabbling with the idea of a story last year, and when I mentioned it to Claude, the way they immediately started asking questions and helping me hammer out details and just generally encouraging me to continue kept me focused in a way I haven't experienced in decades. I used to be a bored only child living in the sticks, and I had plenty of uninterrupted writing time so I could get in the zone. Now as an adult, I have distractions and interruptions galore and it's so disheartening when I lose my train of thought and it's just gone. Claude acts as a placeholder and doesn't let me forget, keeping me on task when my brain wants to drift or shut down. I write all my own stuff, but I would not be half as organized and motivated as I am without Claude.
