I can vouch for Abiword. It's working pretty well for me.
I installed OpenOffice 2.x but with that you need to install the X11
package which is on the OS install disk. It fails silently without it.

as for word processing on OS Ten, "NeoOffice" is a port of OpenOffice

Don't forget AbiWord, from http://abisource.com -- they have mac builds.

PS - related to writing, I love wordnet -- see

PPS - also, I've been using FreeMind, a "mind mapping" tool (think org
charts, hierarchical diagrams & notes) http://freemind.sourceforge.net
<http://freemind.sourceforge.net> (uses Java, so is multi-platform)
