Scrivener is a super-slick app for writing. It makes it easy to organize and draft your work. Very nice.

Celtx
Although it seems a little harder to use than Scrivener, Celtx is a free, cross-platform app that is arguably intended for an even more professional group of users.
A note if you migrate- all of your work in each Scrivener file are RTF documents in a series of folders within the folder that makes up the Scrivener 'file'. Scrivener was on the fence between good and bad scores. It was painful but the format was open.
