Yes! I use Scrivener. It exists because the developer needed a better tool to write novels. I end up too disorganized trying to write with other tools like word processors or flat files.
I managed to write a 25,000 word story in a word processor once, but it was such a jumble that I just closed the file and forgot about writing for a few years.
