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. Hope that helps.
