Hi there. [personal profile] catness pointed me here. I hope you don't mind? ;-)

As for writing software for Mac, I have been using WriteRoom for the two years or so. You can set it to auto-save your work, and you can choose to have a word-counter visible at all times, too. What's more - the word-counter actually counts the words - it doesn't interpret things like '-' or '***' as "words". I don't know if that's a plus while you're working on NaNo, though :-D

For me, the good thing about WriteRoom is that you can set your own colors, so that you can work with light text on a dark background if you wish. Also, you can work in full-screen mode, which might sometimes help in keeping focused on the text, instead of getting distracted by the wonders of the web? The "bad" thing about WriteRoom is perhaps that you don't have any formatting options - no bold text, no italics, no bigger fonts for the headers. All the text looks the same. But, for fic writing, this works nicely at least for me.

Of course I don't know if you will agree, but perhaps it could be worth a try? At least I'll stop sounding like a Writeroom commercial now!
