Answer
Here is a review of Scrivener, a writing studio program for Mac OS X and Windows:

Visit the publisher's web site for more information:
http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php?platform=mac
It's more than a word processor; it's a flexible platform for writing that enhances rather than hinders the creative process for many different types of authors, including scriptwriters and playwrights. From the publisher's web site: "Scrivener puts everything you need for structuring, writing and editing long documents at your fingertips." Your research and background materials are within reach, always.
A trial version is available for download. You can try it out and find out if it meets your current and future needs.
I highly recommend it. And it will not put a serious dent in your wallet--an important consideration for budding writers!

Answer
Buy a pencil, pen and tablet of line paper. Works just as good now as it did 50 years ago. Some of the world's greatest novels have been born that way.
