The Benjamin Franklin Method: How to Be a Better Writer

I dig Ulysses for the Mac[0]. Its distraction-free mode is very nice, but the organizational tools are there once you need to start stringing together larger pieces of text.

I do wish someone would make a non-OSX version that was as nice.

Have you heard of Scrivener? It's available for both OSX and PC, and I believe there's an iOS version, too. It's really wonderful. The organizational tools are just incredible, and are only as complicated and involved as you want them to be.

Whoa, missed this. Sorry for the late reply.

I have! I like Scrivener as well and it's very powerful but its "does everything" functionality has led to some bloat in the UI department. Ulysses seems more thoughtfully designed but doesn't have the same breadth of features.

Ulysses really bothers me because it's not "real" Markdown, so simple stuff like copy-pasting something with a link in it breaks.
