Write or Die is a great program. It is a program that forces you to write just to write. It helps relieve writer’s block. It is available as an app for the iPhone, iPad, or PC/Mac/Linux. It is also available as a web app. It has Kamikaze Mode where your writing will unwrite itself if you stop writing for more than a few seconds. It is available at http://www.writeordie.com. The web app is free. The computer app is $10.

I’m using scrivener at the moment, and probably i’m going to buy it (im on day 20 of the 30 days demo, and writing my first full lenght novel!)

What i’m glad is scrivener now they have a beta version for windows (that’s because I use mac and windows all the time (macbook for writing+common things as watching movies, and a PC desktop that is my DAW for music production)

I came into this page by looking something better/free/and compatible on both programs, seems Scrivener is the best

As an update please note that Scrivener is currently in beta for windows and available free while it is still under development, but only usable until Nov 7, 2011. An official version of Scrivener for windows is set to be available for purchase around the end of Oct 2011. The Windows version will be behind the mac version though as far as features go. So far the windows version seems fantastic even without the scrivener 2.0 features.

It is also kinda impressive that you’re still replying to comments two years later.
Props.

Well, when it’s glaringly obvious and very much true, that’s exactly what you should do, I reckon! Plus, that’s kind of the way the internet should work …

You know…that’s really respectable that you pointed out another website as having better content, instead of just copying their work and changing it enough to avoid a copyright suit.

Big ups, to that, man!
