I usually like to do my first drafts on paper because it's just too difficult for me to focus through a first draft when I'm sitting in front of a computer. So many distractions, and the blank document screen always feels so intimidating and unwelcoming. I still love my notebooks, but StimuWrite has made it possible for me to do first drafts on my computer with a fraction of the distraction, paralysis, and general anguish! More than that, it actually makes the process fun, comfortable, and rewarding. The "waves" background is my favorite, but I think I may buy some of the add-on themes too. Thank you, Ms. Harms!
I have not had any issues with the app crashing, but so far I have only used it for shorter writing projects (less than an hour at a time).
