"If people only knew how hard I work to gain my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all." is a quote attributed to Michelangelo often but I believe it has weight here.

Writing fiction or nonfiction is hard. It is a different kind of hard than rocket science or lifting a bus with only your two hands. The first hurdle always seems to be the writing bit ... that is the daily, every day, write.

And I think that is the meat of what these apps are meant to do. Think of them like bots or NPCs that help you grind in the RPG of life.
