Possibility...

One thing I've been contemplating recently is creating my own 'authoring software'. Right now I can't find anything that I like. I want something that's simple, effective, and efficient. The closest apps I've found are CopyWrite and Ulysses. Another possibility has been Mac-Journal, a journal/blog software app that could easily be used to write stories.

I'm thinking about merging the best of those apps into one that'll be an authors dream. On top of that, it'll be cross-platform enabled (Mac OS X, Mac Classic, Linux, and Windows 98+). The only downside to that is Mac Classic, Linux and Windows seriously lack the built-in features that Mac OS X has, such as spell-checking and text-to-speech. While solutions are available for those platform independently, they're not natively built-into the operating system itself.

I believe Windows (at least XP) does have text-to-speech functionality built in.
