Also (as a capitalist), I loathe a monopoly, and Google is on their way to becoming one. In fact, one comment by a user on page reviewing Storymill wasn't about the product, but this exact same thought that people were very polarized.I have briefly used a few Google products like Blogger and have been unimpressed. I've gone over many reviews and comments of the product and was struck by the lack of a center, with people either loving it or hating it. >Tim,Thanks for the quick response.Interesting that you threw out Storymill simply because of its reviews. You can also use Google Docs to upload and save files. I also use Dropbox, so I can write something from a different computer in word or and sync it to my dropbox folder, then add it to my Scrivener writing project.

You have to install something.I love using Scrivener. You can only use it on your main computer. It's on your machine, and you control it.Scrivener Con's: It costs money. Dependent on Google.Scrivener Pro's: It's a slick interface. You can tie in a timeline if you want.Google Sites Con's: You have to online to use it. You can use it from any computer with an internet connection. It seemed so centered on fiction writing that it made me less interested.Google Sites Pro's: It's free. Didn't bother testing it based on the reviews. >Hi John,I threw Storymill out of the mix. Also, this is my homepage for my computer, so I’m forced to see it and feel guilty for not writing every time I open my browser.
This helps me think about how the action should happen. On the main page, I have an outline of scenes. I’ve been doing a similar thing with Google Sites to organize a project. Definitely, more bells and whistles, but are those needed? It’s got tabs or stickies to write about characters, a timeline that pops up. I haven’t downloaded it and tested it out yet, but I’m a little unsure about it. StoryMill is totally geared toward writing fiction. I haven’t done too much with it, but it looks promising. Also, you can title the scenes, write summaries, put a status on it (3rd revision, almost done, etc.). What’s cool is that that you’re able to move chunks of writing around, for instance, reorganize how scenes flow. Most file types can be in the research area, but only text documents can be in the drafts. With Scrivener, you have a project view of your writing and column on the left for drafts, research, and trash. So far, it seems pretty cool, and with a new release due out in October, I’m sure it will become even better.

I’ve recently come across Scrivener and StoryMill, two writing programs for Mac OSX, and have begun messing around with Scrivener.
