I started out just writing my stories out in the little white box provided.. description area under the image... but that proved really limiting. So I tried using the free text writing thing that comes with windows.

That didn't work out so well, so I picked up a copy of Microsoft Office 2003, but the grammer checker isn't very good. So I found a grammer checker that works really great, called Editor for Windows by Serenity Software. That worked great, but the pure white screen is hard on your eyes.

So I started using JDarkroom, it's free and all I had to do was cut and paste to Office when I was done with the draft. That was ok for awhile but I ended up with hundreds of files quickly, really hard to find anything. So I bought Writeway Professional.

Now all my notes and stories were organized in one spot. But that meant I was now using three writing programs. So I found Scrivener which has a feature like JDarkroom and a very cool structure corkboard thingy. So I only have to use two programs now.

But I was wondering what everyone else was using for writing.

What's your favorite writing software?
