Scrivener

From their website: “Typewriter. Ring-binder. Scrapbook. Scrivener combines everything you need to craft your first draft, from nascent notion to final first stop.”

I’ve used Scrivener to write two books, and am currently using it to write two more! In addition, I use it on a daily basis to organize editorial content (i.e. blog posts, podcasting schedules) as well as developing speaking presentations. About the best $45 you will spend this year. I’m just saying.
