Scrivener

I know some of you already use this software but I think in fairness to the intent of this blog (Gregg's Mac), I need to mention my favorite writing tool, Scrivener.  This application gives me a tremendous amount of flexibility in writing while also containing my research notes, pictures, organizational tools, and more.  It is not a word processor.  It does not format your final output beyond some simple draft (i.e., double-spaced) formats.  To format the output you send it Word or any other regular word processor.  Check it out at the Literature and Latte home website here.

Scrivener costs $40, which I think is a very fair price for all that it does.  It is very highly rated by almost all Mac magazines and websites.
