I'm a writer of fiction (published a zombie series and a couple of other series). I've used Writers Cafe on Linux a number of times. It's a good application, with a number of nice features, that might suit you. Also, there is work on a Linux port of Scrivener <http://literatureandlatte.com/wiki/doku.php?id=running_scrivener_in_linux> which is often considered the de facto standards writer's tool. I've used the alpha version of Scrivener on Linux and it's quite good. Otherwise I just use LibreOffice.
