As I've mentioned before, I wrote StoryGrinder for my own purposes rather than as a commercial exercise. I've actually been using it for over a year now, refining and tweaking some of the functionality until I was personally happy with it. This is probably the most enjoyable kind of software to write, because you end up being your own best customer. And hey, I'm pretty easy to work with.

I'm a great believer in writing. It focuses ones thoughts like nothing else. I'm also a great believer in the whole blogging scene; it may sound corny, but the opportunity for folks to express themselves is A Good Thing. I enjoy reading well-crafted, thoughtful articles (John Gruber at Daring Fireball springs immediately to mind as the first example).

So again, I have to preface my next remark as "corny as it may sound". StoryGrinder is my contribution to those people who are writing the things that I'm enjoying reading. Keep up the good work, and I hope some of you find the program useful.
